I read the paper more carefully and had a think about this, and here are my thoughts;

Dixon et al. find a duality linking form factors and scattering amplitudes. Scattering amplitudes are written as a 'loop expansion', which you could think of as a bit like a Taylor expansion, and I think a remarkable feature of their result is that it appears to hold for all orders of this expansion. I've seen some results relating form factors and scattering amplitudes at only the first order of this expansion before.

Their result is based on a mathematical observation that the functions that the scattering amplitudes are built from at each loop order (called polylogarithms) have a natural operation on them called the 'antipodal map', and in applying this operation to every polylogarithm in the amplitude they recover the form factor. It's intuitive to me that if the mathematical building blocks of your amplitude behave nicely under some operation, you might expect the amplitude to have nice properties under that operation also.

So it's clear mathematically why this new relationship exists, and I guess the question is, 'what does it mean physically?'. Dixon et al. comment that they don't know, and I don't really have any thoughts on this either. What I can say is that, over the last 20 or 30 years there have been many different discoveries of duality between seemingly disparate areas of mathematical physics. The first and most famous was the AdS-CFT relationship which relates gravity to gauge theory, and there is lots of work in amplitudes currently on a different relationship which writes gravitational physics as the square of physics in gauge theory. There are many others.

So, my experience working in the field has taught me that there are many unexpected dualities and relationships between different physical theories, and that nature is more deeply connected at a fundamental level than is indicated by the initial (apparently disparate) mathematical formulations of those theories.
I'd say the NYT has an "educated big coastal city american slant", not sure it's a question of left or right. I seem to remember they were pretty gung-ho about invading Iraq, hardly a left-wing position
Vercel is not free if you want to use a repo in a Gitlab Group. It's kind of like Github organizations. They claim that a "team" is needed, in order to enable collaborations, and that is not free. So not really a viable alternative in this case.
> As time went on, the number of people interested in this was dwindling.

That's mostly because access to computers has became easier - you can either get your own Linux box or get a proper VPS for extremely cheap (if not free - see cloud provider free tiers) nowadays so why bother with a non-root account on a BSD system?

IMO it doesn't have anything to do with the barrier to entry.
One of the things I’ve done before among the other suggestions is to put a hidden link like /followmeifyouscraping.html in the landing page to get a bit of info about scraping volume and then you can use fail2ban filters to block if it’s visited if you want
It would not be open source for the duration of the time-bomb, clearly, that's the point of creating an exclusivity period.

After the time-bomb, it's undeniably open source: users have all the freedoms granted by open source and they have the option to release their derived version with a zero days time bomb, effectively equivalent in all respects to GPL. What GPL does not grant, and such a license would, is the ability to create a non-zero commercial exclusivity period, during which the software reverts to commercial-with-source-available status.
I have a feeling what you're describing is the first half of Manna, which isn't really what I meant.

I get theres a feeling that anything but a crushing reality of grind is living like a "pampered pet", but the second half of the book is really saying that a humans skill is in our ability to create, not our ability to work. We outsourced that to primitive machines before we even had a language to speak. We create, the AI works, replace AI with tractor or computer and the concept is the same but doesn't sound so bad, because we accepted it as alright many years ago.
I think the burden shifts towards being able to imagine and describe the fantasy. Novelty, and artistic creativity is still required. You can bring a horse to water, but you can’t force the horse to drink it. Many humans don’t use their imagination let alone have the eloquence to describe a search space that contains novelty.
The blog post should be titled "Cut the cutesy error messages". As it stands, I thought it's about reducing some specific class of errors.

I see why you would say that: these neural networks probably have thousands or millions of weights while the equations of motion can probably be written on an index card.

But I would argue that this parsimony is illusory. There's a lot of implicit knowledge needed for the interpretation of physical laws. The laws are written using specialized mathematical notation such as special functions, partial differential equations, in a certain conceptual framework such as Lagrangian mechanics. You need to understand the concept of abstracting and quantifying a dynamic system (most people wouldn't imagine you can do this) and then you have to learn all the tips and tricks of how to reformulate and solve systems.

For example, I could write a mathematical representation of quantum electrodynamics (the theory of how electrons and photons interact) on a single index card. However, I would need to dig into my two shelves of QFT textbooks to actually make any quantitative experimental predictions, on top of my degree, PhD and post doc experience, which I need to even be able to read the textbooks (and I would still mess up the minus signs).

I think it's important to remember that these neural networks are doing all of that - not just finding the physics, but also all the abstraction, calculation and interpretation that is usually taken for granted but actually very non-trivial.

I cannot understand how blatantly lying to your customers can be made acceptable if it has fine print. "Gluten free* pizza! (terms and conditions may apply)" is just that: a lie for which there should be some legal/regulatory consequences.

Noticed how much spam comes from Microsoft Outlook users. A consistent deluge of spammy service offers. If a smaller provider allowed that, their emails would be blacklisted.

Microsoft not allowing Tutanota users for team while allowing Gmail (Google Mail) is just more proof of the email cartel. Major email providers help major email providers.

"Fun" is a too short termed word i think... "happieness" would perhaps be better:

Riding a sailboat hard on the wind, watching the foam of the waves splatter onto the deck...

Reading a book in a comfy chair, only accompanied by the sounds of a fire...

Learning something new that changes your worldview completely...

Cooking together with your partner...

Watching your children grow...

"Fun"... "fun" is short lived like the buzz you get from a glass of good whiskey, i would say its better to strive for happieness
Have a "CAPTCHA" that gives the IP reputation for some time (cookie+IP=key), but instead of a CAPTCHA make the web page / browser solve and submit a BOINC task from a randomly picked science project. No user interaction needed, it has the benefits of "paying by computation" of cryptocurrencies without the tracing, and if bots solve the problem efficiently, it's good for science.

Full agreement here. My past experience in the bioinformatics field taught me pretty much that "scientists" at large are just as afraid of the terminal as the average person. The science-folks more specialized on informatics typically are folks focusing on being able to use one language. Not use it well, mind you, just able to produce functional, untested code.

Given that, I highly doubt any of them are even aware of languages beyond python and java and maybe they're aware that C and C++ exists but are scary.

> Many years ago there was a public server called SDF (Super Dimensional Fortress). It was a BSD system and anyone could get a user account for $1. The theory was even the least of us, a kid scrounging for money on the street, could come up with a dollar (and presumably the postage to mail it). To a certain person, access to this kind of server was invaluable - the only situation you could hope to get close to this kind of system. As time went on, the number of people interested in this was dwindling.

SDF is still around though, and still operates on the same model - pay once to get in, and you can stay as long as you want unless you become a nuisance.

> Jumping through hoops is a useful gateway, but if your hoops are too complex or arduous, you miss out on people who you genuinely want to include in your community.

It is certainly not impossible for communities with this model to die - that's not what I'm saying at all. Small social media sites die all the time, including with Reddit-style gamification bullshit. Or they turn into cesspits like Digg or Voat.

But yes, increasing the friction of engagement is literally the point, you are losing some users but increasing the quality of the ones who remain. It's the old "fire your bad customers" routine, but for social media.

Just make a site with a Contact page, with a comment form that logs the details of every request (IP address, timestamp, message content, email provided). You'll get plenty of data for research, once the page has been indexed into the database the comment form spammers use. For bonus points, put the contact form at the bottom of every page of your website.

A couple of my toy/project websites accidentally became honeypots. Rather than shut down the comment forms, I now have those sites generate summary logfiles that I can upload daily to AbuseIPDB.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, also log the Referer field and User-Agent on each request. Very, very useful information for research and detection.

Tor users are often legitimate good internet citizens.

A lot of (lucky) us have the luxury to live in real democracies.

Some others live in countries that use every single aspect of their private lives (DPI, mass surveillance) to put pressure on them and bend them to the regime's will.

In my opinion, Tor and anonymity should not be killed as a result of silly bots.
This author sets up a lot of his own personal standards for scientific reporting, and then calls outlets "dishonest" for failing to meet them.

Its fair enough if he doesn't like their reporting, but pretending that they are deliberately and dishonestly subverting standards that he alone has invented is nonsense.
Of course, part of the dream (or nightmare) of machine learning is that with enough training data we can build models that can recover hidden aspect of your private personality from eg video footage of your public personality.

Really silly example, perhaps your humor and wit (or lack thereof) actually show through in the way you smile? Of course, the correlations the machines will actually uncover won't be as transparent nor legible to humans as this.
You're right that requiring a small fee to register can solve the problem for small communities (and so OP is wrong in the paragraphs that you quoted), but still this solution doesn't work for OP's case as this requires login and he says that he doesn't want to know who is using his search engine (I guess for privacy reasons) and in this case indeed the bots can harm the proliferation of this kind of small scale services.
> But seeing the pace of new features introduced into Rust, I'm a bit worried that some of the older features will soon be declared "non-best practice" and turn into C++-style cruft.

Is it just because you see additions of new features in general or there are some specific issues? For me new features do not make 'bad practice' from old ways. As example in older versions you had to be more explicit with lifetimes, but that is just convenience.
Celsius was based on scientific ideas and works great for describing scientific processes. Fahrenheit was based on everyday weather experience and works great for describing that. They're of course equivalent, and it would be better if the world could agree on one standard (not just for temp, cough cough, metric system).
One on ones aren't rocket science
100% agree. This reflects EXTREMELY BADLY on Cloudflare. This changed my perception almost 180 degrees of what I thought of Cloudflare before. This is not a thing you'd expect devs to do at a moderately important company, let alsone slip through QA, code review and many other checkpoints. The fact that this happened at a company which routes half the internet's traffic through their servers is SUPER worrying. Glad I'm not a CF customer anymore. Never likes them MITM everything.
The context is TLS decryption in enterprise network security. People using MITM here are talking about proxying in a broad sense (the sense tialaramex used), not browser settings. "Forward proxy" is just the name of the setting in the firewall I linked.

I think what I said also holds generally, though, e.g. "MITM" is a standard way of describing tools like mitmproxy and Fiddler. These tools of course proxy connections, which is how they're able to work with forward secrecy.

Anyway, the actual point of my reply was the "Inbound inspection"[1] decryption option. This option is classic MITM and relevant specifically for the internal traffic use cases mcny linked to. There's still proxying for TLS 1.3, but the client can't tell.

There is nothing unethical in having a commercial contract with your users whereby they pay for the features you implement. The typical ways this is done leads to unethical outcomes (lock-in, secret source etc. etc.) but by itself a commercial contract between willing and informed adults that don't harm people around them is not unethical.

The extremist stance "free as in beer from day 1" is an ideology that, it should have become clear by now, is actually hurting the freedom of the public at large, who is pushed into proprietary cages set up by ruthless profit-maximizing businesses. There should be a better way where developers are paid, high quality software gets written, and users are free. There is nothing fundamental preventing such a world to exist.

I agreed with your parent post and upvoted you, but too many inexperienced with functional programming claim it is all (or too much) recursion. I think this should be challenged.

Yes recursion is a useful tool, just like GOTO and is sometimes necessary or more practical. But it is better to e.g. use a fold if you can because that further constrains and aids reasoning. For example, a fold will always terminate unlike general recursion.

I recommend looking into recursion schemes, if you aren't familiar with them.
You say he's been lying about the laws, and for proof you offer the fact that no one's been arrested for it yet. Is that really how it works? If the government doesn't prosecute, then the law that is written should not be discussed as written?

What is tabular data precisely?

I can represent an image as a table of RGB values. I can represent hierarchical data as a table of unnested values.
Except that there are also a few people like myself. I am now at my 3rd Android smartphone and I have always used all of them without GMS and without a Google account and I do not feel that I have missed anything.

All the mobile phone services, camera, clock/calendar, file storage, Web browsing, including the use of anything accessible on the Web, e.g. Google Maps, all work OK, and I do not need anything else from my phone.

The very few extra applications that I have installed, e.g. an authentication app for the VPN of my company, have been side loaded, not from the Google Store.

The only problem that I have ever had with the lack of a Google account was that one of the banks with which I work has discontinued their Web interface for online banking and has mandated the use of a phone app for authentication. As their staff seems very stupid, they had not provided any way to side load their app, but it could be installed only from the Google Store.

Seeing that they cannot be reasoned with, I have canceled my online banking service at that bank and I have reverted to an older form of SMS service, which still provides me most of the features that I need, e.g. receiving notifications on transactions from my accounts and interrogating the accounts balance. The loss is theirs, because I now do more frequently banking operations at other banks, which do not have stupid conditions tied to their online banking services.
Ask HN: ZFS native encryption vs LUKS
I use full disk encryption with LUKS to encrypt data at rest in Linux systems. Lately, ZFS has offered native encryption in Linux. I am thinking if new Linux systems should be encrypted with file system encryption (such as ZFS native encryption or ext4 with fscrypt) instead of full disk encryption (mostly LUKS).

I know some of the differences. For example, ZFS leaks some metadata, mostly dataset and snapshots names (which are useless in my case). LUKS encrypts everything, has a better KDF and multiple key slots, and is mature at this point. ZFS uses AES-GCM which is more complex but stronger than AES XTS.

Are there other reasons to use one versus the other? What do you choose?

Openzfs encryption is still rather new and I worry there might be bugs or pitfalls breaking confidentiality, or cause pool corruption.

Any feedback on the implementation quality of ZFS native encryption?
One reason The Guardian etc don’t include references to authoritative sources is because they believe they are the authoritative source for their readers. They expect readers to implicitly trust their writing.
