Andre Rublev's ending is immaculate.

Miller's Army of Shadows (1969) was the the first time I saw on film how it might be to know you are about to die. I can only find an unsubtitled version: the German officer tells the French resistance protagonist that he has a chance if he runs and gets to the back wall before being shot by the machine guns- he'll live to be executed another day. At first he refuses but survival kicks in and he runs believing he will be shot in the back at any moment. I urge you to watch the film in entirety to experience the intensity of the scene, alone doesn't do it justice. The first time I saw this it was like it was in slow motion, after so much had already happened in the film.

When I first got into assembly language programming, I used MS-DOS DEBUG as my assembler, since it was included on basically every PC in those days.

I was extremely frustrated because my textbook's later chapters used MASM as the assembler, which at the time cost some ghastly amount of money (somewhere around $180 if I recall correctly, which was a truly staggering number of birthday and Christmas presents).

Anyway, my point is, in 2022 everyone takes for granted that an assembler for any system that matters can be downloaded for free from the Internet -- or if it doesn't, one will soon be written by some enthusiast and posted on Gitlab.

But back in the 1980's and well into the 1990's, assemblers were expensive products that companies actually got away with charging a lot of money for. Presumably they made a significant amount of revenue from those sales.

So the use case that immediately springs to my mind is being able to prove a particular commercial binary was assembled by your assembler, in order to make a successful accusation of software piracy and extract a monetary settlement from its developer.
Crubit and autocxx have, afaict, less investment than Carbon, and all three are collaborative. There's not certainty that crubit or autocxx will succeed. If they do, awesome. If they can't, Carbon exists. All three are experimental all three are incomplete in many ways. None are side projects.
The article explains why a MOV is used instead of two NOPs. Five NOPs would obviously be even worse.
Without reading the article and just the headline, I thought this was going to be an article on economy that has a bloated amount of over paid middle management. Was very disappointed.
I see. Amazing work you have done! This game is enticing.
This is indeed the best individual scene of any movie of cinematic history, to the best of my knowledge and taste, and I applaud the OP's brilliant analysis.
The whole movie is a gem, and a rich source of unforgotten quotes ("Major Strasser appears to have been shot - arrest the usual suspects", "This is the begin of a wonderful friendship"), and the "anthem-against-anthem scene" evokes that rare combination of tears and goosbumps that is only present where human sacrifice is needed and volunteered, but without guaranteeing a happy outcome.

Other posters have suggested a range of other scenes; I shall just propose one
more movie - a lesser known one - that is sacrifice-themed:

As someone who grew up in the country and now lives in NYC, this is about as out of touch as the takes I used to hear back home about how city people must live.

Growing up, my Dad couldn’t have been more proud of his F-150, not because of whatever testosterone fuelled fantasy you’re talking about, but because it meant we could pull city people out of the ditch when they came down our closed road in the wintertime. He never accepted any money from them either, but it made his day whenever someone knocked on our door and he got to bundle up and go out in the snow to help them out.

Just a reminder that there are millions of very real rural Americans out there who are nothing like the stereotype you described but would still gladly go out of their way to help you, despite your seemingly low opinion of them.
Do you have figures for this? it says: "non-exhaust par­ti­cles represent 59% of PM10 and 45% of PM2.5 emis­sions", so about half of fine particles are non-exhaust (brake, tires, road dust). If you also count the fabrication process, the batteries, the new infrastructures and electricity footprint, the additional weight (for the same size), it's possibly a small gain over thermic engines, but nothing super obvious

the "server" in this case provides a one-time key to sign the transaction with, which is only valid for that transaction and that merchant. if you have a large antenna that can provide valid transaction keys for a trusted merchant, then yes, you have a significant exploit.

to my knowledge, nobody has ever successfully demonstrated an exploit of this nature.
Rust - The Longest War; is a book about this topic, very insightful read.

That's too obvious.
The main definition set in the article seems to be neighborhoods in "which almost all residents’ needs can be met within 15 minutes of their homes on foot, by bike, or on public transit." The maps in the center of the article ignore biking and only show walking and transit, but the difference is pretty big. If you work from home, or live near work, what parts of the city are more than a 15-min bike ride from "needs"? In a city that we pretend is 7 miles a side, 15 min of biking can take you to a very different neighborhood.

I'm also super skeptical of the transit maps ... b/c even if a route is going where you need it to go, the 15 min should also include waiting times. In some cases, 15 min takes you 0.0 miles on muni buses.
Other comments provide links to licenses similar to what you are looking for. But I’d like to argue that the MIT/BSD2 licenses are _better_ than a “no strings attached“ license, even when one wants to give the broadest permissions to use and modify a piece of code. The obligation to preserve attribution and license is as unobtrusive as possible, and at the same time gives assurance that the code is actually properly licensed. The typical corporate entity will not trust a piece of code with no license and would have to track copyright and license in some database. Having the same information in the source files makes things easier.

> > And convincing people to sign up for a subscription when that is objectively terrible for the consumer is marketing.

> I see. So my Netflix subscription is terrible for me?

The parent's sentence is a "X when Y is marketing", and you are dropping the when clause completely. In fact, Netflix is probably one of the objectively best examples of subscriptions helping in some areas.

Since you ended with a question, let me do the same: Out of all the subscription packages, be it Manscaped monthly men's trimming tools, Hello Fresh, Office 365 subscriptions, Paramount Plus... can you consider one of them being objectively terrible for the consumer, and thus fulfill the when clause of parent's post?
Historically the FCC relied on self-reported numbers from ISPs to verify performance. Unsurprisingly, ISPs lied. Lately FCC has gotten smarter about verifying performance.

The RDOF performance requirements are much more subtle than just average speeds though, there's details about percentiles and time of day and the like. I'm hopeful someone is being thoughtful at the FCC
In a lot of situations, no additional time is spent (and thus wasted). This happens with advisors in the general case too: they become an advisor and never meet again.

Most Asian cities have horrendous track records on dealing with mentally ill and homeless, that's why. They're frequently driven out, dumped into homeless ghettos, incarcerated, or dumped into the countryside. Western society has higher expectations of their marginalized, for better or for worse. This is why US planners look to Europe for models to emulate instead of Asia.

> Address this, and you will win over many people to transit. But again - I feel like most transit advocates are highly resistant to doing what needs to be done.

Most advantages surrounding driving cars in the US are based around culture and perception. The mythos of the car in the US is huge and many parts of car culture is based around the mythos. Transit advocates by nature of not buying into the mythos are going to be types that are hard to sway through feelings and perception. I agree that transit has a perception problem that needs to be fixed in US big cities. The reason why this disconnect exists is because transit fans are by nature more driven by data and less driven by mythos or narrative. That doesn't mean this isn't a problem.
Given the timezone, cultural, supervision, issues of offshoring, that makes it less of a bargain than it used to be.

Supervision - people in the USA have to oversee the offshore work, maybe even travel overseas, and video calls at 11 PM two or three times a week gets real old real fast, or else the people in India have to work difficult hours three times a week for conferences and they are exhausted and miserable.
Though presumably gravel roads limit development, keeping car traffic minimal.

I also plan on doing this, but haven’t had the time yet to put together the actual “plan” per se, other than lots of raspberry Pis and a screen to connect to in the family room.

My main motivation for doing this, I suppose, is that being a millennial I got to straddle the analog-to-digital divide growing up, and I think that experience path with technology is healthy because you tend to view it as a tool and less so the basis for your entire existence.
On the roadmap!
> Maybe it's different elsewhere, but where all the tech companies are, it just doesn't work the way you're describing it. If you're being forced to punch a timecard and salaried, I would contact an attorney.

When I was salaried at a FAANG, they had us start clocking to pay OT when we exceeded 40h, which was most people much of the time. It was a way to keep the pay competitive. This was ten years ago, so no idea if that’s still a thing.
If you define it that way then people with non liberal views have an even stronger case. I agree completely that social expectations have a large ramifications, such as self-censorship, which is artificially propping up liberal ideaology in the Universities.
And I figured that people that don't know the difference between McDonnell and McDonald can be ignored when it comes to their views on that particular merger.

How an economist might look at it: tax the hell out of living in the desert. Los Angeles, Los Vegas, and other locales are in a desert. Living there is not sustainable. Look at how California has already been terraformed to supply water to Los Angeles. Enough already.
The history of Canadian real estate being used to launder money is right out there. Look at the Panama and Pandora papers..

Currently:

“For years, foreign money has been coming into Canada to buy residential real estate,”

“This has fuelled concerns about the impact on costs in cities like Vancouver and Toronto and worries about Canadians being priced out of the housing market in cities and towns across the country.”

These are direct quotes from our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In addition, he's hoping that a plan to ban foreigners from purchasing residential real estate will get him re-elected. There may not be hard data YET, but it's clear that what the govt sees is in line with what we the public see.

As for what we the public see:

- Foreigners flying in to major airports, then taking taxi cabs to small towns and remote properties with the intent to purchase. And we're not talking one or two, we're talking about enough that taxi drivers are talking about how concerned they are about the pattern

- Properties that have been un-sellable for years suddenly being purchased by foreign investors sight-unseen as the market heats up in that specific area

- Rental properties being taken off the market: first purchased, then renos started and never finished

- Residential houses (including house hacks and house rentals) being taken off the market by being purchased and held (in the past these kinds of properties were owned by holding companies that had a vested interest in making sure they do not have any more transactions and therefore fly under the radar, but more recently people are buying and holding until a future time where they can sell for more): A for sale sign goes away but no one ever moves in.

- Property values going down when a buyer purchases a property then fails to hire a property manager (resulting in the house falling in to disrepair). Turns out they had no idea that there are no local property managers and it's just communities of people doing favours for each other.

As for how that explains

> exploding house prices in small towns 2 and 3 hours outside of major cities, where vacancies are hitting record lows

Foreign investors aren't looking at proximity to cities, they're looking at what areas 'are hot'. They're typically overpaying which urges everyone to overpay, and we still have all the expected real estate purchases: people who want to escape the city after earning their down payments, new home buyers, domestic investors (including speculators), and so-on.

The result is higher and higher prices being paid for less and less properties. Vacancies have severely dropped because in multiple local areas that are on my radar (either I'm there, have talked to someone there, or have contacts there) mainly because the number of places to rent have been reduced.
Before the RDOF auction began there was a controversy about the FCC not having accurate service coverage data to determine what census tracts should be eligible for the program. The result was that something like $16 billion would be paid out in this first round of auction, and $4 billion was held back for a second auction to fill the gaps once we had more accurate data. Then the bidding actually went low enough that the FCC was able to cover all their first-round goals with just $9 billion, leaving $11 billion for the second round. My understanding is that any areas (and clawed back funds) that weren't serviced during the first round will go back into the pot for the next round.
A note on these WGS services: The industry is nacent, DNA extraction and the sequencing fail often. You'll be shipping samples across the globe and waiting on your data for about 12 weeks to a few months at best. My advice: If you're not looking for a hobby you can follow up on every few weeks, don't buy these budget direct-to-consumer services yet.

I heard good things about Sequencing.com, but then again also Nebula Genomics when I bought their service end of 2021. I ended up asking a refund due to the painfully slow processes and communication last week. Dante Labs is a previous pioneer but has also fallen from grace with long delays and undelivered data. Caveat Emptor.
But isn't there a 5-byte single instruction that has no effect, like `NOP DWORD ptr [EAX + EAX*1 + 00H]`?

I thought that multibyte NOPs were executed in a single instruction?
I've installed noVNC on a Pi before, didn't try accessing it through an iPad and I don't recall if I was using desktop or just terminal, BUT, I think something like noVNC could get you close to iPad-as-RPI-screen. Add in some VPN functionality and you can keep the Pi running at home, but use the iPad anywhere you can get online (though now you're getting into diminishing returns).

Yes, this is very much true. For the first three systems I owned I wrote my own assembler, just to save some money (which was incredibly tight in those days, as in: that was three months worth of food or so).

Time was worth relatively little in comparison and I figured I will at least know the instruction set inside-out.
I feel like that is a self-perpetuating cycle. Japanese carmakers build cars to rust out in half a decade and thus nobody wants to buy old rustbuckets thus the carmakers don't bother to build them to last.
Sure. But considering you can't buy them anywhere but China makes the notion of "launched" rather limited.
For some perspective, this is to some extent happening with all review categories everywhere. There's often no "best X", but "best X for A" and "best X for B". It happens for many review sites now, with kitchen tools and towels and everything (here's one for olive oil dispensers, just as an example: https://www.saveur.com/shop/best-olive-oil-dispensers/).

My guess is this is responding to reasonable concerns that there might be "no best X". The cynic in me wonders if it's driven by an avoidance of advertising dollar losses but I don't think that's all of it.

They also explain right in the review why someone might not want a MacBook:

"MacBooks are even more expensive than Windows ultrabooks, especially if you want to upgrade the memory or storage; Apple’s SSD upgrade prices are so high that we usually recommend looking into cloud storage or an external SSD instead. And as with Windows ultrabooks, our recommended MacBook configuration for most people lacks the processing power to play demanding games."

If you look at the prices too, they say at the time of publication the XPS and Air were about the same price. People do complain about the price of upgrading the MacBooks from base, so that's not just Wirecutter.

Some people just don't want Macs, or can't have them for IT reasons. It's not about the hardware, but all the network effects that goes with it. Wirecutter is trying to avoid that debate.

I own a MacBook (I'm typing from one right now), and almost certainly will buy another one soon. I also don't think I'd go to Wirecutter to make a decision about a laptop. But I think they're catering to a certain audience that treats laptops like they do a coffee maker, and I think they're not completely unreasonable in structuring things that way.
They are useful for ordinary people. Without them, at some point in the future people would go to work at 8am at sunset and go to bed at sunrise. Leap seconds are a way for everyone to agree to shift their schedules by 1 second to stay in sync with solar time. It's subtle enough that most people don't even know they exist, nor will it have an effect on most systems. Larger jumps would be much more difficult to ignore, and smaller jumps would be more frequent.

It may depend on the area but SFH is not necessarily associated with a HOA for one. Also, I am confused as to how HOA can interfere with one's life to a higher degree than sharing walls. In my understanding HOAs deal with exterior and common areas, they don't have to do with anything inside. In an apartment you have the same with regards of common areas and the exterior, except you don't have any say at all and you have noises and smells coming from the neighbors. So even if you have a HOA that is as restrictive as a landlord, you are still ahead as you can do whatever you want inside, unlike in an apartment.
this isn't a HN comment page, but it contains comments from co-authors, alzheimer's researchers, and most critically the lab lead (professor ashe) who overaw lesne's paper: https://www.alzforum.org/news/community-news/sylvain-lesne-w...

professor ashe declined to comment for the science article but commented here. notably, she claims the journalist conflated two forms of Aβ and drew invalid conclusions.

tldr: many scientists believe the fraud is grave and inexcusable but the impact on research is greatly exaggerated. comments on twitter from other researchers seem to echo this sentiment.

That's getting a bit hypothetical. I'm just working with the evidence available to me right now. If strong enough evidence appears to the contrary then I will change my mind

Yeah, I wonder if how Google+ did it, still attaches the overall brand with the masses. Aka, Google+ wanted everyone to use Google+, just subsegment within it. Almost as if everyone lives in the same house but there are millions of rooms.

I'm curious about the brand that says, "Nope, we're an online platform just for 10,000 people" or "who make this much money" or "who are in these communities."

I wonder what examples already exist, if any, that tie the whole brand to a specific online exclusivity.

"The text of the Sherman Act bars ‘monopolization,’ so to write that one is trying to build firms that can ‘monopolize’ is, well, remarkable."

Perhaps remarkable to say it out loud, but other than that not remarkable at all and totally logical.

Any company in a free market is incentivized to combat their number one threat: competition. You can combat competition with a good product, but also more hostile methods like outgrowing, acquisitions, patents, lobbying, cartels, etc. Competition is an existential threat so the incentives are very strong. Being the only one playing nicely means your business is dead.

Monopolization in tech is even more incentivized as it's often trivial for competition to copy your approach/product. So "good product" just doesn't cut it.

The only remarkable thing is an almost complete lack of regulation, Sherman act or not. The article is full of examples of monopolies that should not exist. But they do exist. Regulation is non-existing or 10 years late.
