From a neuroscience perspective it would seem obvious that neural networks can work with less than 8 bits. According to a study from 2015 [1], the synapses in the Hippocampus can store about 4.7 bits of information (26 discrete connection strengths). While the real brain graph is very different from a transformer, I think this should still be achievable for other architectures as it is most likely just a question of extra stabilization during training.

I do understand the dangers of a government that can arbitrarily declare something a "state secret" and subsequently stifle speech on some arbitrary grounds.. but at the same time, can you recognize that there may be
legitimate grounds to forbid dissemination of particular information on the grounds that it is advantageous to hostile entities, and thus a detriment to the US as a whole?
You assume swindling. Sometimes friends and family invest because they believe in you and/or the idea, and it isn’t always a problem. That’s all I’m saying.
To be clear, I do not blame them. It was right choice. I am reacting to what people wrote on various discussion forums including HN now.

I remember reading in history book about Germany that news about purges affected situation in there - people seen communists and bigger threat and nazi as protection against communists more. So, at least something was known.
I usually attach a few tags, but it’s not practical to tag to the fine grained level I would like to search by.
Don’t look to large, well-known registrars. I would suggest that you look for local registrars in your area. The TLD registry for your country/area usually has a list of the authorized registrars, so you can simply search that for entities with a local address.

Disclaimer: I work at such a small registrar, but you are not in our target market.

> FreeBSD also re-enabled insecure encryption ciphers in their build after they were disabled upstream, with backward compatibility apparently being more important to them than the security of their users.

You know what? I appreciate that. The security people want to break stuff all the time and it is terribly annoying to have to go and fix stuff. Sometimes you even can't, there is software out there that only supports older TLS ciphers and you have to keep an old browser around to access it. And inevitably that old browser is going stop working at some point too... If you are so anal about security, the knobs are there to make adjustments. For the rest of us, stop breaking shit!

Ask HN: Where do you find the interesting jobs?
I would kill for a job that feels even remotely useful or interesting.

Everything is crypto "web 3" bubble, fintech, or recruiters being very vague about "unicorn" startups that are just making useless services that clearly won't go anywhere.

I've also found that interviews don't tell you much about reality. I've changed jobs a few times in recent years, every time I had interviews being told about interesting projects, great practices and so on, but once actually there was made to work on mind-numbing useless stuff.

It honestly makes me feel like my skills and time are being wasted. I'll be honest and say I consider myself to be pretty good at what I do (and it's been confirmed at my past jobs where I quickly get that reputation), but I just don't know where to find interesting opportunities that don't feel like either a grift or being a parasite making money out of arguably evil things.

How do you find interesting gigs?

I first realized the problem when somebody hit me with:

"The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation."

and

"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools"

to argue that writing code comments, tests and documentation wasnt worth investing in when we can all just talk.

This was after a series of disasters that code comments, tests and documentation would all have helped with. It's perhaps hard to imagine that this would be controversial but it was - the fact it was 10 years ago and we were under pressure to deliver can perhaps partly explain why.

Try as I might I couldnt argue that his interpretation was wrong. I stared at the words and was shocked when I realized that it was actually perfectly valid.

I have my own understanding of "good agile" and no doubt a lot of developers share it after many decades of good experiences and bad experiences and it arguably means putting processes and tools over individuals and interactions some of the time - like using a linter/autoformatter over arguing about formatting.

I dont know what we need but probably it looks a lot more like an updated version of the joel score than the vague soft focus angel tinged* crap that is the agile manifesto.

For what it's worth, I think your list is also a bit vague.

* I swear that the of the agile manifesto web design was also stolen from a baptist church.
I would love to get a similar keyboard but with a trackball instead of a rotary device and a couple of side buttons next to it.

The design of Enermax Aurora Micro Wireless rocks, I used it for 10+ years, although its trackball is of abysmal quality.
Also the 1k cycles is until the pack capacity goes down to 80% of the original. You could still use the pack well past that unless tesla somehow limits it or complete short of some of the elements in which case you should be able to replace the element.

Locally-hosted software is definitely important in the short term, but I think that distributed software will be enough in the long term. When everything is public, then there won't be the same risks associated with using networked software. In the long term, I expect the intermediaries to be public too.

But locally-hosted software should always still be possible. I included something similar as one of the core tenets in the repo where I outline an idea for how we get things going: "After cloning this repository, it should be possible to start a development instance of bartok with a single command." Based on your feedback I think we should tweak this to emphasise local use, because there's a distinction between using software locally for development and using it locally because you're using it locally.

I have read that this exact strategy was used successfully and quite recently by Russia in most of its previous conflicts, most notably the complete destruction of Grozny in the 1990's[1], not to mention the bombings in WWII with were completely indiscriminate from both sides, so I think you're just uninformed, with all due respect.

I concur, as the keyboard spun over I was like wow, that's an amazing travel mechanical keyboard, then the encoder stopped that idea. It is a remarkable looking device though, I really appreciate the care put into it's design. I feel like the most enthusiastic market for that kind of slim design is definitely portable users, so perhaps there's an easy way to have two models by making the encoder optional.

My only other hopefully constructive criticism is without feet to raise the angle, some people might find it uncomfortable. However it's possible that being so slim and low actually makes the tilt angle less of an issue, I'm not sure!
I would interpret that as more generic than buffer overflow.

“Buffer overflow”, for me, is for when you read or write a short distance before or after a buffer (typically because your looping over it and got your ending condition wrong). “Out of bounds write”, for me, also includes when you read or write basically anywhere (say a function you call overwrites your local pointer to a buffer with ‘random’ bits, and you then use the corrupted pointer to read or write data)

The answer to that question could fill several books. Among more recent events are the human rights violations, the increasing saber-rattling about Taiwan, the increasing joint military exercises with Russia, and the mass addition of malware/spyware to chips meant for foreign markets.

I was literally just looking this morning for a travel-size mechanical keyboard to go with a Surface. Trying not to buy a ThinkPad X1 tablet.

Found the Nuphy Air75, which is a few grams lighter but not as design-y. Clearly there must be some new, low-profile key switches hitting the market making these thin keyboards a possibility.

Anyone recommend a wrist rest?

Not sure about this one. We were promised flying cars, Level 5 Full Self Driving (FSD) and Robotaxis but instead we have yet another SaSS on something as simple as notifications.

So we are going down the route of making anything we see turned into a SaSS and continuing the subscription griftopia and renting everything; even if it is not solving a problem and when it can be done with existing tools for free; in this case, Telegram, PushBullet or even this: [0].

I think it’s a big reason why Descript is a great product.

Even if he isn’t the one doing that forever, it sets a huge cultural expectation that listening to customers matters.

> Whatever natural immunity you got nearly 3 years ago is long since useless

This is factually incorrect. You don't have perhaps protection against infection, nor probably symptomatic disease, but there is working natural immunity, in the form of immune memory and cell based immunity (T lymphocytes).
That is far, far more resistant to variants than humoral (antibody based) immunity, mainly because only antibodies neutralizing the S protein are able to prevent infection (so more vulnerable to mutations).

Cell based immunity can't prevent infection, and can not necessarily prevent disease (as in, having fever, cough...), but it is very effective in dampening the effect of infection (either through recruitment of other immune cells, or by killing infected cells). Memory T and B cells generally last quite a lot of years (and with SARS-CoV-2, up to two years at least), so this memory is long-lasting.
congrats, can't wait when this ships as you'd have pretty much the only mechanical keyboard that follows the macbook keyboard layout on 4 keys left from space and prob would be instant sell to every mackbook owner who likes mechanical keyboards.

the rotary button has no value imho but I can just break this off for the sake of being constant with the mackbook keyboard layout :) cause you know muscle memory
Indeed. And it's not like those ciphers are completely broken to the point of being easily exploitable.

I have some old servers with older iLO that suffer from this, and I'm only using them on a local network. Similarly, I have used the "None" cipher on a local network to sync a lot of data from my old NAS which definitely did speed things up (that box didn't have AES-NI, ancient processor).

They don't have to enable it out of the box but having it in there when needed is definitely helpful.

On another point, that 'huge diverging patch' from OpenBSD PF was all about multithreading and dramatically improving performance on modern systems, it's not like it was done for the sake of it... But it should have been kept more up to date, yes.
Opera browser had this feature since dawn of time and some others copied it.

Even as a FreeBSD "fan" I have to admit that there are some valid points in his rant e.g. the threaded AES-CTR did introduce a slightly larger attack surface to bugs hidden by OpenSSH opting to use only processes.

I still preferred filling my multi-Gb/s pipes with backups for an hour or two every night instead of having replication take most of the day at ~300Mb/s. I need backups to be replicated nightly off-site before the start of business. The largest single backup job alone would have been too slow to finish in time after a busy day over unpatched SSH. I needed a tool that's fast enough to finish transfers in the available time window. Had FreeBSD shipped an unpatched SSH I would've had to implement most of its core features in something else instead of running a multi-threaded implementation of the same symmetric ciphers.
From my experience, simplicity and portability is really the key to a long term and effective bookmarking system.

I add everything into one single bookmark folder in Firefox and slap on a few tags. Syncing between devices works perfectly. Adding a star (*) to the address bar limits the search to bookmarks only, which makes it insanely fast to look up interesting stuff I have bookmarked but vaguely remember, by typing one or two keywords. It makes it easy to look up things on my phone too, when out with friends and I need reference a project, article or whatever.

It has become the second brain I always wanted but never managed to maintain with more complex tools and services.

Right. In the cases I mention, inbound isn’t an issue. The various entities assume the worst for their routers (outbound only) and use VPNs where they control both sides. So no issues with DHCP-PD or insufficient subnet size allocation.

> Only people who didn't WFH much, or didn't have jobs involving any data entry at all could do without a numpad.

I'm (mostly) a software dev for 15+ years and I've never felt the need for a numpad. I'm curious now - have I been really lucky that none of my gigs have ever involved any substantial numerical data entry? Do other devs have to constantly do that so it justifies the larger keyboard (which is off-center and is awkward to use on a laptop)?

From personal experience, I'd assume that jobs that require non-trivial amount of numerical data entry are <1% of total jobs that require a keyboard. Am I totally wrong here and living in a bubble?

(I've been 100% WFH for the past 5 years and I'm not sure how that related to the numpad / no nupad discussion?)
No, I'm just stupid
I disagree on the machines.

The settings are VERY straight-forward for anyone to program a machine, and online stores are already offering 50% off or more on the machines. The pain point is that online stores are required to get a prescription, even though the end user will need to manually configure the machine after receiving it.

I do agree that the accessories are annoying as heck. It really makes competition almost impossible, since trying to price compare medical suppliers is painful to say the least.
Actually typing in PHP is not really static. Errors are thrown at runtime, afaik. There might be separate tools, which check the types before running the program, but they are not PHP itself. That aside, I think part the reason, why static typing brings so much to the table in languages like PHP and JS (in form of TypeScript) is, that they are rather weakly typed and not strongly typed. Weak typing and dynamic typing can make for a terrible DX, when bad designs are present like they are a lot in PHP and JS.

I like static typing personally, but for example have no issue with using a strongly typed language, which does not allow me to treat a number as a string or string as a number or similar. Often such a language provides means of making things safer at runtime at least. For example one can define structs and functions, which only work, when they get an instance of that struct. Any other type of value would result in an error. Then of course there are unit tests, which can cover a lot of ground, even if not all a type system can do in theory.
Nice, there were some great games based on Peter Jackson's movies, namely that weird PS II RPG... with the exact same combat as Final Fantasy X...
