I totally agree with twawaaay. There is a huge electrical separation between the incoming mains and the CMOS battery. It is very unlikely that a mains spike could damage the battery without also frying the intervening circuitry.

A more likely explanation is that the faulty servers had quietly deteriorated over the years, until a mains failure caused them to reboot, thus revealing that the batteries were faulty. And if the batteries had been sitting there for sometime with an internal short, then it is also likely that they would have visible damage (eg be leaking).

Also if they had been tested by simply pressing the reset button, they would likely boot just fine. However if they had the mains removed for a hour or so, it would be a different story..
Please explain further, this makes no sense to me.
For all the disparaging Mega got, it hadn't been broken until today.
Healthcare isn't expensive because there are huge swaths of spending unexamined by human intelligence that might become tractable with an automated process. On the contrary, it's one of the sectors that has the most eyes and brains pointed at costs and extracting as most money as possible.

On the topic of EMR systems in particular, they suck because the people using them hate them and because the people purchasing them, building them, and mandating them aren't the people using them. If it were just a matter of having enough money to throw at the problem, Epic would have done so already.

It's a hard problem because the real problem is convincing a brain surgeon making $450,000 a year that he should be partially or wholly replaced with AI models.

It's the same reason costs to build subway tunnels has dramatically increased in NYC, labor unions have the process by the throat and will accept not even a cent in reduced labor costs, even when improvements would improve safety or efficiency.
No sane person of any political persuasion thinks humans are "solely" the reason for climate change. I would even include both Jill Stein and Donald Trump in the category of "sane" in this context (but not most others). This is the most strawman comment I think I've ever seen on the internet.
Note to the creator of this site: although this is definitely overkill, you can make the enroll link look like it points to a link like "https://heyyyyyyyyyyyy.com/register", and then play some audio with JS.

I'm a little lost, because what they came up with is a complicated and naive key proof that allowed attackers to recover the RSA key. There was no code that already implemented this weird ECB key-wrap and RSA key-proof scheme they came up with; they had to write it all themselves, rather than just grabbing a PAKE and an AEAD from a library. And the consequence of them doing that was that they had key recovery attacks like three levels deep.
That's the best part, compared to people's crazy HOTAS setups, this is all relatively minimal. I just have my Valve Index connected to my desktop. My dad uses an HP Reverb G2 also connected to his desktop. His setup is technically less overhead, as the Reverb doesn't have the light houses the Index has. Everything runs through Steam and just works. It's not crazy cheap, but it's a blast and it's super easy to hop in and out of.
Hmm I wonder if the climate is changing or something?
I went most of my life being very near sighted but not having glasses. I'd always have to ask teachers to sit me in the front otherwise I wouldn't be able to see anything. Inevitably they'd forget my request and at the next rotation I'd usually end up near the back (probably due to my last name being near the end of the alphabet)

Similarly, if anyone every tried to wave at me from afar I'd never be able to tell if it's at me or someone behind me because I couldn't tell who anyone was. I learned to walk around looking at the ground so nobody could mistakenly think I was looking at them
Machine learning can deal with this very easily by incorporating time as a feature.
It would presumably be a fairly lax data protection jurisdiction where storing medical data on Mega is lawful. They don’t seem to be HIPAA compliant, anyway.
And that fear is stoked from the top down. You hear it all the time from the leadership of a certain political party. It's not just something that people fear naturally, it's driven home explicitly by the political messaging of those that benefit the most from our current system.

I was also able to access it, and my primary DNS was 1.1.1.1, though I use 8.8.8.8 as secondary so that might've saved me if primary wasn't working.

I don’t believe the nine lines of code was the relevant part leading to damages. It was the fact that Google copied this entire API design (SSO) for Java. I don’t think GPT-3 is in danger of doing that.
> An unqualified "best" means it's the best.

No not really, real life does not work that, you can be best in some aspect while not the best in other aspects but for some reason you dont seem to understand nuance, its probably your hatred for Ive that seems to be clouding your judgement.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. I have a colleague who uses an OBS virtual webcam setup like this, and it's really disconcerting having a conversation with them, compared to others who don't use it, because of the additional lag. Their setup may have some specific problem though.
Having not looked into it, and just pulling this out of my rear, presumably the assumption would be that if it has low correlation to other cryptocurrencies, then it improves the stability of the basket of backing cryptocurrencies. Even if the correlation is high, anything less correlated than +- 1.0 helps the diversified basket.
They also have an ABS button sometimes for that trick without changing the zero point!
How does a dead battery prevent a reboot? The battery is isolated by a series diode to prevent it shunting the circuit. Certainly some parameters will be lost (eg time) but it should still boot.

Whatever, it's easy to test. Simply remove the battery from your PC and see if it will reboot. Then clip a lead across the (vacant) battery holder to see if a shorted battery prevents a reboot.
With Ubuntu using dash as its /bin/sh and macOS defaulting to zsh for interactive shells (I think their /bin/sh is still bash, but haven’t checked), this is probably the least true now that it’s been for a couple decades.
There's a new Homa protocol specifically designed for data center to replace TCP by Ousterhout (TCL/TK and Raft author).

Depending on where you live, this can backfire on you if you don't inform the other party that you're recording them. (IIRC, in some locations, "at least one" party needs to know the call is being recorded — so since you know, it's fine. In others, all parties need to be informed.)

Take-home challenges aren't unpaid work. They're just a take-home replacement for the on-site interview.

If anyone tries to get you to do unpaid work (as in, actual work that the company needs to be done rather than an arbitrary challenge given to candidates for review) then you should absolutely walk.

> such as the ‘New Atheists’ – to assert that the disproofs of God

None of the atheists I know try to disprove all gods because they're generally collections of unfalsifiable claims. Specific gods as claimed to exist by specific groups, yes, but generally no.

> [to assert that] the secular science that they claim to be doing are value-neutral, apolitical and objective

How strange that science can't be neutral because someone's introduced a god. It couldn't be that person's god making the science non-neutral and political now, could it? I dare say (tongue in cheek) that the proof of that is obvious through mere observation.
The Telegram protocol I’m so critical of was v1 which included DH, RSA, AES in IGE mode, and SHA1. All used in random ways with key sub setting, reuse of some key bits for multiple purposes, etc.

I honestly haven’t looked into anything newer from Telegram because it was pretty clearly a tire-fire and Signal was already a thing.

HN comments in a nutshell.
35k a year is a ton of money. No way the typical 6 figure earning couple has that.

I make a good amount too, and I don't have a spare 3k per month.

Let's just say you have a rough time after 2 years.

At community college , you're out maybe 2 or 3k total. Using your own numbers, that would be 70k spent without a degree.
Unless of course you have a source of carbon you can't yet replace effectively or at scale, or you extract the carbon from the environment[1]. the second option (and efuel in general) definitely isn't ready for primetime but it could be a viable option in the future to keep some classes of old tech running rather than expending effort building out new tech at massive scales when it could be used more effectively elsewhere.

The dynamic vs static argument seems to always revolve around bugs. Dynamic typing people say their code is not buggy. I too do a fair amount of javascript and I don’t think my code is particularly buggy either.

What static typing offers you though is the ability to refactor large project with much greater ease.

I spend most of my time refactoring a large C# codebase (10m+ loc) while other people are actively working on the code as well.

This just wouldn’t be possible without some kind of static typing. If there is a type that is used in 500 places and you have to update all uses, static typing gives you some form of insurance that you’re not breaking much.

Hmmmm, that is actually a good observation.
> But I do expect the fact that oxygen molecules are airborne particles to be taken into account when we talk about the retention rate of airborne particles

I did say particulates not particles. As someone who seems to care deeply about words, no doubt you appreciate that those are very different things.

So yes, by definition, oxygen and water vapor are gases, and thus not particulates.

(More generally, every field has its own jargon, and the sooner you recognise that and start learning it, the sooner things will start to make sense. So when, say, discussing filters, "particles" doesn't mean "atomic particles".)

> It seems clear to me that any workable filter standard must define a minimum particle size below which filtration is neither measured nor desired.

See above; no such minimum size is needed.

And I rather suspect you understand this, and are merely disagreeing with the terminology. Your disagreement, however, doesn't change the terminology used in this field.

> You quoted a standard that specifies a certain level of retention "at the given Most Penetrating Particle Size".

No. The US standard picked an arbitrary size to test at; the EU standard does not. Rather, it states that you must have a certain level of retention at the filters MPPS, but the MPPS varies from filter to filter, and determining the MPPS is part of certifying the filter.

I believe as a practical matter the filter medium tends to have an MPPS calculated, and then the filter is tested at the medium's MPPS, since if a glass fibre medium has an MPPS of 0.2 microns (or whatever), it's going to be 0.2 microns regardless of what colour the exterior case is painted, so there's no need to retest that.

In any case, the exact details are apparently spelled out in EN 1822-3 if you can't stand not knowing more!
Convex vs. Firebase
I'd say that it works very well. So well in fact that as I reinstalled windows and watched F1 on Sunday I was surprised to see that Ferrari had managed to remove the engine sound from the drivers microphone, but at some cost to the clarity.

Turns out the background noise removal was turned on for my output too.

So I take my coin, pegged to the dollar, and lend it Anchor for a 20% return.

Anchor lends it out to someone else at >20% APR because that other person is… brain dead? Who would accept that?

But again, where do the new Terra coins come from? If Anchor pays me in more stable coins, they had to buy USD to be allowed to mint them right?

Does that mean I bought Terra with USD to allow Anchor (which is Terra?) to sell my Terra to get USD to lend out at usurious rates to make USD to buy Terra to make up what they sold if mine and pay my returns?

Is that right?

How does anyone take any of this at face value? Why not just take USD to lend USD to get USD to return USD?

I’m ignoring answers like money laundering and avoiding KYC and other financial regs. If we assume everything is truly on the up-and-up how does this ever make any sense?

And again who borrows money, probably denominated in some crypto, at >20%? Isn’t that kind of the crux of the whole system? You’d need those people for this to work?

I understand, though disagree with, many pro-BTC arguments. I even understand the pro-NFT arguments. This… I can’t think of any plausible argument from my current understanding.
Kind of off-topic but, why does the angloworld keep using a translation of the bible that's written in an almost "archaic" English (yes I know, I'm exaggerating, but I can't think of a better description from the top of my head).

Coming from someone that was born and raised in a Portuguese speaking country, their version of the bible seems much more "accessible", But I acknowledge the fact that it might come at the cost of the accuracy of the translation.
> Unless of course you have a source of carbon you can't yet replace effectively or at scale.

Wouldn't it be better to capture the carbon and sequester it? How is capturing the carbon and then burning it again (via e-fuel) good?
What "bias"? I'm not Argentinian, I couldn't care less if they made it or not.

There's clear differences even in the photos you provided. Obviously the front grill, but the lights are also a different shape, with the TITO more angular. The door frame is different, it looks like the TITO has a larger piece of chrome on the part you open. I'm sure there's other differences there if I were to look at different angles of the TITO.

Maybe Sunshine took TITO's design, maybe they're both based on some reference design made by some other company. They both clearly are supposed to be a squished MINI Cooper. Regardless of what happened, "my eyes" are not proof of it.

So, I ask again, what proof do you have that it is the case that TITO took Sunshine's design and/or is just a rebadged car?

It does work and fairly well at that. However, for the audio processing component of Broadcast, you don't necessarily need an RTX card. There's an official version that does the work in plain old CUDA. Might not be quite as efficient, but also works just fine.

I think permacomputing is something about software rather than hardware. For hardware, to human civilization it's all about the use of power. But for software, we have lost so many things. Many documents have lost, many software can run in nowhere. That's the problems we should solve.
I can see how this could easily be used for that. I’m trying to figure out the theoretical legit use for this.
Everyone would need a next gen GPU to run it and someone would have to drop $500k on a gpu rack to train it.

What an incredible job. The last line of that video is too perfect.
I love this idea and what is proposed in the Principles, but it's missing a crisp definition. It relies a bit too much on the reader's knowledge of permaculture.

I like the idea of piggybacking on permaculture but it's not a perfect analogy, because computing isn't exactly a naturally flourishing phenomenon.

What does carry over is the idea of being more thoughtful about computing, reducing energy waste, and generally architecting these systems for a longer time horizon. Perhaps in a way that can encourage stewardship over multiple generations.
Not very well actually. that idiom is used almost exclusively in a joking manner when referring to HIV testing in specific.

Two things to ask anybody who claims to have some information, or even just some personal beliefs, about something they call "God" :

1. What are the statements about what you call "God" that you believe in?

2. Why do you believe just that set of statements and not some other set of statements?

I believe that the answer to 2., if they are honest, would most often be: They believe the set of statements they believe because they WANT to believe just those statements. And why do they want to believe just such a set of statements? Because believing what they believe makes them feel good.

They want to believe those statements, and here's the minor miracle: Just because they want to believe those statements, they also all of a sudden do believe them. At least they claim they do.
There are political concerns as well. As the article mentions, healthcare spending is 17% of U.S. GDP (which is an absolutely insane figure). Healthcare jobs account for 14% of the workforce according to Census Bureau's 2019 American Community Survey. You can't get the first number down (17% of GDP) without impacting the second number (14% of jobs). I agree that single-payer would be a net benefit, but the U.S. hasn't shown much appetite for such tough political decisions.
Not one mention of FIdoNet?

There are other aspects of the origin story that seem to be myth. For instance, the idea that the Internet was designed to route around damage, and could also treat censorship as a form of damage, and therefore it was resistant to censorship.

I once spent a long weekend reading through the early RFCs. What I found was the obvious recognition of the fact that AT&T, which at the time had a monopoly on telephone services in the USA, was circuit-switched, whereas IP was being designed to be packet-switched, and clearly a packet-switched technology could be more decentralized than a circuit-switched technology. But that is the only shred of evidence I could find in favor of something like an ideology of decentralization. I could not find anything explicit in the design documents of the 1970s and 1980s.

As near as I can tell, the more grandiose claims of decentralization don't show up till the late 1990s, and those claims are not especially made by the technologists themselves (with the exception of Bob Metcalfe). It's mostly techno-utopians and libertarians who begin to make the bolder claims about how the Internet is fundamentally decentralized and resistant to censorship. People like Kevin Kelly, writing in Wired Magazine in the 1990s, made the most utopian claims about the decentralization of the Internet.

I've looked, and I've had trouble finding evidence of bold claims of decentralization, being made in the 1970s or 1980s, except in the very obvious case case that a packet-switched network is less necessarily centralized than a circuit-switched network. The myth gets built in the 1990s, and is then retro-imposed on the 1970s and 1980s.
That is interesting.

But neither is anything particularly new at the consumer end, the only difference between Koala and any other company is that they're reliant on defi lending for their funding.

And the only thing blockchainy I can find about Figure is their crypto mortgage, which is an(other) collateralised loan scheme, and it's not in action yet. I notice it was supposed to launch in April with a 100% crypto-to-loan amount. I wonder if they've had to rethink it in light of the recent crash?

If their other products are somehow blockchain (and they might be, I can see they have some sort of proprietary blockchain going on) then firstly, yes, we’ll done to them for not crowing about it and putting the product first! But secondly, again I’m not really seeing a novelty here.

And I wonder what happens to companies like Koala in the current situation, a lot of DeFi lending platforms seem to have either collapsed or be on the brink.

But I guess “crowd-funded finance”

While I'm sort of rephrasing what DrewADesign said, I think, it's not a matter of "form over function" as much as the difference between a UI designed around the tasks to be done versus one designed around the underlying data/function models. The latter can be very "functional," but that doesn't necessarily make it a good interface.

Calibre's UI isn't illogical or nonsensical, and it can do everything you probably want when it comes to managing an ebook library, converting between book formats, and taking files and off ebook readers. But it doesn't feel like anyone involved with the UI design ever really thought about it from the perspective of "how do I make the common tasks easy" rather than "how do I ensure all the functionality is exposed".
