Well he has also been dead for 75 years, so people are less concerned with his personal beliefs and actions.
I replied to your other comment, but I see what you mean now in this context. Why is hacking individual Tor nodes with a common exploit not a more common method of exploitation compared to Sybil attack?

It’s a good question. Keep in mind that, while exit node IP addresses are public, it’s generally difficult (and sometimes impossible dependent on NAT) to enumerate all the IP addresses of non-exit nodes. You would need to operate a malicious directory server (probably not that hard) and/or crawl the DHT (new in v3, I’m not yet familiar with it).

I believe Tor also has explicit mitigations against this sort of enumeration, by eg directory server hashing the first bits of the client IP with a nonce for the current time period. But I don’t know the details and it’s been a long time.

It’s also worth noting that Zerodium has quite a large bounty for targeted deanonymization of Tor users.
When it comes to nausea, it’s once and done for me. Wtf would I ever put myself through that again, for a game? I’d rather go outside, thanks.

As I understand it, all batteries are the same size. They are just software locked. So no additional costs.

It's the same as how Tesla remote unlocked the battery life of people fleeing natural disasters. Which means not only is it there, it's charged.

Given the apparent requirements around the Third Party UEFI CA, it's impossible for any device with a plug-in GPU to meet the Secured Core PC requirements. Unless Pluton is never going to be present in workstations, Pluton does not imply Secured Core.

PSP and ME firmware isn't part of the CPU microcode. There's no fundamental reason why the updates couldn't be provided via Windows Update, but that would require Intel and AMD to choose to do so. There's frequently fairly tight binding between ME/PSP firmware and the system firmware, so it may well be the case that the vendors simply don't feel comfortable providing updates without board vendors having validated that first. The ME and PSP also offer significantly larger attack surfaces than Pluton does, so there are legitimate concerns over whether they can offer the same level of security assertion.

TPMs normally sequester keys to themselves, but the spec doesn't say anything about how that's handled - the keys could be in a separate hardware block that's isolated from the rest of the TPM, or they could be just living in RAM on the TPM. In the latter case, any vulnerability in the TPM firmware would potentially allow the keys to be exfiltrated. SHACK is intended to provide a higher degree of isolation, such that even if the Pluton firmware is compromised the keys will still be inaccessible to an attacker.

I'm not quite sure what you mean with respect to RIoT. Devices that make use of RIoT aren't intended to be general purpose computing devices.
Not worth it, as somehow who owns the quest 2.

The runtime performance is garbage with frequent hitches in frame rate. The in-game resolution is poor with many games having extremely low texture quality and "jaggies" which could be solved with some sort of anti-aliasing.

There are also barely any games worth to play in VR, the ecosystem just isn't there yet to warrant a VR purchase, especially at this price.

VR experience is greatly improved if you can render it on your PC and stream it to a VR headset so you can get consistent frame rate and 120hz.

I play beat saber which the quest 2 cannot reliably render without performance drops. You can fix this if you render it on a PC though.

Now that the market rate went up, I will probably sell it to a pay pig. My graphics card is still up 200% over what I paid for it 4 years ago.

EDIT: You need to place the headset in some faraday box, as it will still stay on even when turned off sometimes. It maps your entire house to know exactly where the safe play zones are. It's incredibly creepy, but also convenient, since you don't need to redraw the play area.
20% is 80 points less than 100%. 1/5 is practically cutting supply.
> I think we can outwork and outlast the cynics and keep building the things we think are cool.

There's a big difference between compounding past success and ameliorating past shortcomings. If implementing some improvement goes well, we accomplish our goals on time and within budget, it's easy to say let's do it again. If a vendor makes me go in front of my boss and say the budget I previously requested was not sufficient and the thing I said would get done wasn't, I will never stake my professional reputation on that vendor again.
Apple is big enough to make it happen and there are plenty of iOS game devs out there to make it a success.

Same for me - journaling has been huge, as it lets me get thoughts and feelings out of my head, and makes them ‘real’ where I can deal with them - even if dealing with them is just shrugging and moving it, or laughing at myself. It makes a huge difference in processing them.

Part of it is sometimes in my head they are swirling so fast they are hard to process or recognize, and if too much is going on, it gets frustrating and exhausting trying to keep coherent enough I can remember any of them enough to do anything about it, even to let them go.

Meditation also helps, though for meditation a huge part is just bringing my mind to be aware of my body too, so it can process whatever is going on there.

I find the work we do to be quite mentally stimulating - sometimes to the point of exhaustion, and without balancing it out with a corresponding amount of attention to our physical body and exercise, it’s easy to get unbalanced and unhealthy.

And since our minds sit on the foundation of our body, that is a recipe for not being in good shape overall.

I've been big on VR since the Oculus kickstarter days, and I have to admit that I don't play it every day.. but that's just because there aren't any polished high-end multiplayer games for it yet*. All my friends are on WoW, Fortnite, and League of Legends, and old pancake games with friends are more fun than VR indie games with randos

You should check out Half Life: Alyx to get a glimpse of what VR could be someday. It's a super-polished, super-fun game, and even just standing around in it doing nothing is mindblowing compared to any non-VR game

* There are some good multiplayer action games, but so far as I know they all require you to "get your VR legs" which is a non-starter for me
The proper analogy is that your Alienware breaks, and Alienware replaces your RTX3080 with a 3080Ti. When you resell it, you can and should identify it as an Alienware with a 3080Ti.
One thing to note about BMW is that they are heading in a direction that is not going to be good for anyone if the entire industry adopts it.

An $18/month subscription for heated seats. This is quite frankly absurd. And I know, Tesla is the one that started it (partially), but for things such as heated seats, this is taking it completely to the next level.

Soon enough we will start seeing microtransactions to even turn the car on? Not a good look for the automotive industry as a whole and shame on BMW for this.

I work for an ISP in Switzerland. If you download a game you use 1Gbit/s+ for a few minutes instead of an hour or two. The average bandwidth used stays the same.

Ask HN: My fav artist's Twitter account is shadow banned in US. What can I do?
I know this is a long shot, but I've tried all the other channels to no avail.

The artist is ClariS (https://twitter.com/claris_staff ), from Japan.

They once wanted to be cute and changed their birthday to their debut date. Got account suspended. They eventually got the account back after a few months, but since then, their account is shadow banned in the US and some other countries like EU.

If you check their page, you can see no followers or followings; you can "follow" them, but only find it gone after refreshing. And you obviously won't get any tweets in your timeline.

I've contacted Twitter support numerus times, not helpful. I tried to contact their staff too but they obviously don't speak English and didn't reply.

> How should they know where they want to go if they're entry-level?

I think it’s totally reasonable to expect people to have a plan. It’s also totally reasonable, and expected really, for that plan to change over time. But working without a plan, which implies working without goals, is rarely a recipe for success.
As described in OP:

Whether or not they lose revenue by doing this is hard to measure though. They're not just losing the business of the people they ban. They also lose the business of people who consider Google to be unreliable and risky.

In areas where they benefit from their monopoly, such as search advertising, it may not matter much in the short term, because people don't have a choice. But in areas where people do have a choice, such as cloud services or Workspace, it does matter.

It seems like a risky strategy to keep damaging your own brand while relying on monopoly rent to cover up any short term financial impact.

Ask HN: Are Large Language Models Like GPT-3 a Hype?
LLMs keep getting bigger and bigger, but I still don't understand the value they provide to businesses and individuals. There must be a reason for MS to purchase the GPT-3 license for $1b, and Meta, Google, OpenAI, etc. wouldn't spend millions of dollars just to train these huge models. Yet, I don't get it.

IMO, "AI through API" is a bad practice that sets a wrong precedence for the incoming AGI. It's basically a black box wrapped around another black box. In addition, the cost of GPT-3 and other models may be prohibitive for small businesses and startups.

What is going on here? I see some similar patterns between LLMs and cryptocurrencies: both are super hot and receive billions of dollars, but neither has proven its use cases. Given the crypto bubble burst, are we going to witness an AI winter in the next few years?

I think you're making a bit of a WiiU-to-Switch comparison here. 3D TV's limitations were overtly prohibitive: not only were the units much more expensive than standard TVs, but they also required additional hardware/headsets. Then there's the problem with resolution and color accuracy, display shimmering, bad viewing angles... 3D TV was never meant to be anything besides a slick demo at your local Best Buy.

VR I'm skeptical of, but most of the sticking points I can imagine have been fixed. For $400 you can get a fully-featured plug-and-play headset. That's less than most iPads! That headset will have controllers, inside-out tracking, 6DOF, video passthrough, wireless/standalone capabilities... Meta/Facebook certainly isn't a saint, but the Quest is amazing from a hardware standpoint. Even with the new price bump, these devices still feel oddly undervalued. I bought my Quest 1 a few years ago for the same price, and don't regret it at all.
UEFI can work open source no problem. You'll still need binary blobs for memory initialisation and such, because no open systems exist for that, but the boot process isn't really closed.

Aside from open source UEFI setups like Tiano, you can also use CoreBoot or LinuxBoot where UEFI doesn't work for you.

You could simulate a universe and still not predict what crack-brained scheme Elon would think up next. That, in fact, would be the point. "I know, feed mayonnaise to tunafish!" Who in their omniscience would expect (simulated) people to pay a billionaire/clown what, for them, is real money, to have a self-crashing car?
I hear this a lot about Tesla: "I would have chosen a Tesla, but now..."

But now, your choices are among legacy car makers and their dealer networks, which were never a joy to interact with most of whom, Hyundai and maybe Nissan excepted, are just bringing out their first serious EVs.

Yeah, Tesla is overhyped. But their competition mostly, still, sucks. Nobody has, and nobody will for at least another year or two, make even a slight dent is demand for Tesla cars. Yes, Cybertruck is dumb. Yes, there is no roadster. But VW has apparently completely screwed their software stack. That is a much bigger failure.

The same can be said about SpaceX. SpaceX's value is highly dependent on a kind of telecom network that was a failure several times before when tried by Motorola, Microsoft, etc. Starship could fly soon, or next year, or in 5 years and it would still revolutionize access to space. Cost overruns? <cough>Boeing</cough>

It's all relative. Hype and image polishing is everywhere.
Strong disagree. There are two reasons.

1 - A tiny percentage of crypto holders regularly use crypto as a currency, most people just use it as a store of wealth (ie digital gold) or a way to speculate/gamble.

2 - You can't buy it on Coinbase, because the US government can't track its usage so Coinbase would lose their regulatory advantage if they allowed it on their exchange.

So that means it's more difficult for the average person to acquire, and at this point most people are using crypto more like stocks than currency so they'll just speculate on something that's easier to get their hands on.
Or the unbanked are criminals who need something other than fat stacks
I appreciate these and have some follow up questions/comments.

1. What about when these things revealed may show that you broke the law, intentionally or even accidentally?

2. Amen. I've been reading more papers lately about the emotional burden of keeping secrets and not expressing ourselves and have been personally dancing with it for years. Thank you for saying this.

I wonder if my worry is not so much if people were to gain access to what I wrote in the journal, but by being the creator of the journal, someone gaining access to what someone else wrote and either the legal repercussions of that, or more likely, the physical and emotional ramifications of such.

The design of this blog is amazing.
A CEO can do many things, but they generally don't design, develop, test and fix products. I have no personal affection for Elon Musk, just wanted to point out that the actual things we all use are products of genuine hard work by lots of different people.
"Extort customers" is another way of saying "perform price segmentation". Customers hate it, especially when coupled with economies of scale that make building one physical thing and selling two software-separated different things, but it's perfectly rational if abhorrent capitalism.

As I quoted literally yesterday regarding the BMW heated seat subscription [1]:

> And God help you if an A-list blogger finds out that your premium printer is identical to the cheap printer, with the speed inhibitor turned off. [2]

You wrote:

> Essentially, every P90 should be $4500 cheaper and every P60 should have the range of a P90.

This is not realistic, or is at least overly simplified. There are customers who would not buy the product at the P90 price, but still will give Tesla money - just a little less. Tesla wants that money. There are also customers who are willing to spend a lot more than the list price of a P60, and Tesla wants that money too. Tesla also doesn't want to build and stock two different sized battery packs.

How would you propose that this should work? Regulate price segmentation? Better information for consumers? Moral pleading for megacorporations to act against their financial interests?

Agree with all of this, but if I wrote a thread about all the times Ford screwed me, it would never go viral. There’s no market for that. Tesla has extremely high customer satisfaction rates. And switching to them has been significantly more harmonious for me.

> through all that effort to actually mine stuff when you can just buy and sell NFTs

Because buy and sell NFTs leaves a ledger trail that can lead you to your cash onramp being illegitimate money.

Whereas minted money is legitimate by default (and has no ledger history).

Because the only way to stop it would be at a federal level. If it originates on domestic soil and is traceable, then it could be a states issue with civil punishment, but most spam comes from overseas and the most effective solution would be to treat it as a serious foreign affairs issues and start heavily sanctioning countries that can't get it under control.
The older I get the more aware I become of the risk that I can't possibly assume the ability to make a living the way I currently do will stay around indefinitely. I could become disabled at any time, or the world or industry could change.

If you look across different professions in different countries across different times, you see that a profession that is very lucrative in one time period often isn't anymore in a subsequent one, or in another nearby society. These things come and go. There was a time when becoming an airline pilot or factory worker were lucrative options in the USA.

There are a lot of good reasons to guess that the good times will continue for the time being, but you're kidding yourself if you think it's a certainty.
I was disproving his point about VR being dead without Oculus. Prior to Quest 2 launch they weren't even the leader, 1.5 years after that launch they are basically only game in town(not for long, PSVR2, next gen Valve headset and Apple are coming soon). And VR-capable PCs aren't that rare, you basically need performance of 1060 and half of Steam userbase have that.
