I wonder if people realize that they are communicating with the new version of a phone sex line. It seems a little dishonest. Before the Internet, people could call the sex lines and talk to people, and it was your imagination. With the Internet, and only fans, all of the media, it seems disingenuous and a little bit like a scam.
So he’s… still not an idiot. Maybe rethink your comment.
I agree with your sentiment. I wish NIST had conducted the proceedings more professionally, and this collapse in confidence is their own fault.

The OpenSSH decision to promote NTRU-prime from an experimental feature to the preferred key exchange was breathtakingly rapid, and final. It is a tacit assertion that NIST is no longer relevant.

DJB was on several teams, and I think that OpenSSH would lend greater credence to him than any other council, deservedly so.

We might end up with SPHINCS+, but I will be surprised if KYBER is adopted.

The green of developed countries simply outsources the dirty to the poorer neighbours who don’t have regulations and need the money. Germany has outsourced food to southern and eastern europe, everything but high margin manufacturing to China, recycling or garbage to whomever is willing to dirty up their air for money (aka the mafia or authoritarian leaders who want more money, which then takes it to poor corrupt countries and burns it), energy to Russia, and military ti the US.

Until your green is everyone’s green, the planet is not getting saved. Safe nuclear and other helpful tech is where surplus money should be going.

Why not both? Why can't I have some of the experience afforded by iPhone as well as sideloading? Just because at some point I compromised and decided the iPhone experience was more important than sideloading doesn't mean I no longer want sideloading.

> Do you really believe, that us being on an utopian trajectory is realistic?

Oh yes. Very much so. In fact, by many measures we have been on an utopian trajectory for several centuries. Today even our failures are the result of unimaginable power. We have to learn to wield our power with wisdom.

We have all of the physical technology we need already. We can practice regenerative agriculture that increases topsoil fertility and volume; we have methods of construction that can build housing for everyone; machines and factories that churn out the physical necessities of life; etc. We need only deploy our resources and technology efficiently. It's down to logistics now, and we have more than enough computer power to sort that out.

The only thing holding us back is that most people still don't realize this yet.

This definitely happens elsewhere, like live cam sites.

This isn't a new practice, but the stakes are higher.

It used to be that you could write to "celebrities" for an autograph. You hoped it was the celebrity who signed your thing and mailed it back, but in reality you knew it was probably their spouse or secretary. It wasn't honest, but it's not like they charged you money, and the emotional stakes were lower. They weren't pretending they were your buddy or your lover. They were just signing a thing for you.

With online adult media, there's that whole parasocial dynamic. The whole thing is made to make you feel like you have something like a personal connection with the model.

I wonder if there's a way to do it ethically, while also keeping it fun for the subscriber.

Like honestly the answer might just be transparency. ex: "Sometimes my assistant XYZ helps me answer the huge volume of messages I get. We'll always sign our replies with the name of the person who actually wrote the reply." etc.

There's really so much more to it. Secondary market brokers (scalpers) shift risk, smooth out demand, and when you catch the right event at the right time, often offer ticket for less than they were originally purchased for. This happens when an artist adds another day to a venue, increasing supply drastically, or when brokers just misjudge demand (it's always a gamble whether to sell immediately (if things even sold out) or hold until closer to the event when demand might be higher (and ticket might have eventually sold out). Check Stubhub or Ticketmaster's resale pages for events right before the event starts. You might be surprised how cheap you can get tickets right before in some cases.

> If scalpers took food from a food bank and sold it at close to retail prices, would you still say they are doing a service?

Not everything should be a market. I don't think using something that obviously shouldn't be a market, like providing free food to the needy, as a valid case where market behavior if it was applied negatively proves that markets are bad in general for other things that are dissimilar.

I've written about this before. I used to work in that industry. You can see some of what I wrote here[1] (sorry, it's just a search result), and this[2] specifically was what I view as a fairly productive conversation that covered a lot of points that I think are rarely discussed regarding this topic, in case you're interested.

While I agree that Apple had a severe advantage in the case of Apple Music, it's also pretty clear that the advantage manifested because consumers who would otherwise be unobtainable were enticed to buy into the offering. It was an uncaptured market.
>There is no inherent reason why Germany cannot singlehandedly support/fund Ukraine's war with a country with an economy 40% Germany's size.

There certainly is an inherent reason, which is that Germany and the German economy is dependent on Russian oil and gas as well as fertilizer and a whole host of other natural resources. This inherent reason will initially be felt only economically as factories and industries shut down without the resources need to continue production. In a few months when the temperature starts dropping this inherent reason will be felt in a much more interpersonal way as the German people start freezing to death when they can not afford to heat their homes or find the fuel to do so.

I think the author is using the two terms interchangeably. What you describe as anxiety is when it reaches panic attack levels.

I do find thinking of anxiety as a biologicical response to stressors help me rationalize my anxiety before I spiral too far. I think this especially important because it gives control back to me: If it is a disease I have no control over it, but if it is a normal biological response I can perhaps harness it.
Budder.
Sounds about right. And not the first time it happens either. I recall getting a few of those instant unit 3 panic over the past few years with Ubuntu. Often with things not as common out there in production, like tc (which in our case we were using in production to work around conntrack race conditions), and sometimes we also got non-panicking but absolutely production/nerve wrecking issues like TCP window size calculation overflows after the window went to zero due to a temporary slow consumer - freezing the window size to a few bytes only instead of getting a prompt full window recovery.

Not to mention we’ve also had our fair share of production triple faults from bugs in the Intel firmware patches for Spectre, which took weeks to investigate & fix between ourselves struggling to keep our exchange up & running, Intel, and AWS.

And that is why there’s value in the CoreOS/ContainerLinux-like solutions we designed & implemented nearly a decade ago now. Being able to promptly rollback any kernel/system/package upgrades at once - either manually or either after it’s detected a few panics in quick successions is actually quite awesome. Not to mention the slow update rollout strategy baked into the Omaha controller.

But the reality is that the what-ifs are always the hardest to market, nearly always after-thoughts and with fast-spiking/fast-decaying traction after major events.

this reminds me of the days when i was a teenager in the 80s and one of my hobbies was ripping the music from video games which basically meant identifying and isolating the code and data responsible for the audio. i remember taking a hex monitor and browsing/ scrolling through all the 64k memory of the commodore c64 and i could tell you just by looking at visual repeating data patterns in the raw hex dump where the song data was located.

Idea is that your deploy step should handle both deploying code as well as upgrading OS, so all changes go through same pipeline.
This question is quite ambiguous about scope and definition. In the context of Apple’s tracking protections, tracking is defined as sharing identifiable information about a customer for advertising or marketing purposes. Nothing more, nothing less. Apple could collect all the information they wanted to about you from all their various products and services, and that wouldn’t be tracking. Under this definition, data they don’t make available for advertisement targeting or attribution isn’t tracking.
Thanks, this made me re-read parent more carefully, which then made me laugh :)
BULLRUN was done to NIST, not by them.

It’s think it’s also an example of why NIST is so important. The subversion of the standard is a problem, but the real exploit using that subversion was the laziness and lack of skill that downstream practitioners demonstrated. People clicked next and installed that RSA BSAFE package without any configuration or reading of the manual.

Without NIST, you’d have Crypto AG — much worse. With NIST, you may have trust concerns, but ultimately the US government is protecting much of its own data as well as politically/economically critical data with NIST algorithms (aka FIPS 140-2).

Ultimately, I think the model in place with these competitions is probably the “best worst” option.
Nature did a poll of IPCC authors (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02990-w) and 60% of them expect the world to warm >= 3°C.
Surely whatever RE tool you're using already has a memory viewer built in.
I don't wish NIST had conducted the proceedings more professionally, not because I'm a nihilist about standards but because I don't know enough to critique how they ran this. I've read the whole post upthread (by the way: if you're scratching your head, the trick is to read the red text, across several pages, all the way through, and then come back and pay attention to the rebuttals you think are interesting) and don't feel any more equipped to say anything about it. What I will say is that a significant chunk of all the world's public key encryption expertise got sunk into this event.

One reason KYBER got standardized quickly is that PQC KEMs are time-sensitive if you believe the quantum attack threat is plausibly material within the next 10-15 years. Your adversary in these attacks will almost certainly be state signals intelligence groups, and the expense involved in building attack hardware dwarfs the expense of collecting traffic today to decrypt in 2034. If you're a PQC believer, you want something out the door soon.

I don't understand the special sway you think Bernstein has, versus all the other cryptographers that participate in NISTPQC, with the OpenSSH team. I worry that people believe stuff like this because they know who Bernstein is and what OpenSSH is, and don't off the top of their head know who Tancrède Lepoint is. Note also that the KYBER team includes Peter Schwabe, whose name you should definitely know if you're a Bernstan.
Ask HN: Algorithms and data structures for humans and physical objects?
Hi HN,

Is there algorithms and data structures for humans to manage physical objects, or researches on this topic? For example, a sorting algorithm for a human to sort a pile of books or papers, or a structure for someone to manage a large bookshelf so that they can find a book quickly given its name.

Obviously, human algorithms should be designed with different assumptions than computer algorithms. Humans can insert objects into an array in near constant time, don't have constant time random access, and physical objects can't be copied, etc. These assumptions change the properties of existing algorithms, and may raise new algorithms into view under these new assumptions. But exactly how? What term should I start searching with?

This question originally came out when I collected and hand-sorted hundreds of exam papers as a TA.
If you're open to it, I would love to chat for 20 minutes, compensated as you like ofc. DMs open @ https://twitter.com/cemerick, or chas@pdfdata.com
One of the App Store restrictions is on code that can modify itself after installation. If that is no longer a restriction the the whole App Store restriction and review process is just pointless.

They’ve been pretty successful about capping individual shift length (to a day and change, granted), the real killer is the total hours per week, which can’t really go down without either the government funding more residency slots or hospitals hiring a bunch of PAs to take over some of the workload, but why would they in a privatized system when the residents are paid for and can’t really leave?

So? What about the cliff? Isn't that more important than getting people out of debt? It's this kind of thing that makes reasonable people who do want to avert climate disaster wonder whether the cliff analogy isn't just a rallying cry to push an agenda of nationalization and redistribution of private property. In other words, just because we do swerve doesn't mean the socioeconomic upheaval is likely to work out in favor of people who want to eat the rich, or anything resembling justice either. More likely what will happen is everyone will get poorer in a somewhat linear fashion, meaning the rich will still be rich and the poor will be below water.

If the only way to cure the climate crisis is to prevent people from flying having tchotchkes, how naive is Corey to think that the rich will somehow stop those things before the middle class and poor do?

But it's dangerous and flawed to mix climate targets with social justice targets for this very reason. Hinging the swerve on a social/economic revolution means it will never happen.
Great question. Most people would probably say no, panpsychism is unfalsifiable.

On the other hand, brains certainly do seem to function like qualia detectors (as evidenced by everyone talking about qualia).

There are native TLS implementations in pure Rust and Haskell. They work great, use constant time “subtle” crypto, and are used regularly in the respective communities. OpenSSL is the C library and that’s not likely to change since people still write C.
My small town carnival in Wachapreague, Virginia, had a ride in the 1980s called (most likely from research and my fading memory) the Fly-o-Plane in which you climbed inside a similar metal can on arms and rotate around an axis while having the ability to tilt the 'wings' to mostly change the roll of the plane. If you were pretty aggressive you could fly basically upside down the whole ride. I LOVED it! There were certainly quite a few of the planes that ended up dripping vomit. I was quite sad to visit that fairground this year with my kids to see the planes no longer exist.

Here is a video of a similar ride in Georgia. Is it still there?

Profit. We were on a road trip Easter weekend and had a drive on Easter morning but decided to fill up the night before. The hotel was across the street from the station and when we left early Sunday morning the price was noticeably higher. It wasn’t stock prices and I doubt they had a delivery because they probably closed overnight.

What’s the mantra here on HN about solo/small startups and prices: increase them to the going rate or charge more, right? Many gas stations are really just small businesses.
