I think it's a great idea not to do the first thing you think of, and instead to think of alternatives before committing to a solution. But I'm scratching my head here trying to think, what are good alternatives? Are you suggesting we send their family to jail too?
I mean honestly, what do we do here? Let them keep their job, pensions, and what ever hush money their received?

If this isn't a crime that sends you to jail, then I'm a little at a loss here.
I’m tired of these articles that suggest we’re helpless fools sleepwalking into a dystopia

We aren't. 95% of people are.
The OBSD docs are good... if you know what you're looking for and are familiar with UNIX already. For a beginner, they are cumbersome, hidden, and annoying to parse.

Good docs look like Tailscale[0] and that similar style where it has the Getting Started at the beginning, along with a nice menu tree on the side that gives an overview and provides easy navigation. You shouldn't need to know what you are looking for when you are learning a platform.

Why should this be held against the Ryzen? It was the competitive advantage that they had against Intel, and if Apple choose not to compete then it should be to their disadvantage. It's as ridiculous as this hypothetical argument:

For anyone wondering this was a political attack; the FBI agent was going after a pro-Trump Arkansas State Senator. The article doesn’t mention the FBI agent’s motive which is surprising given the context of this case plus other recent events with the FBI

Modern rack servers at least spin down the fans when the system isn't heavily loaded, but it's still way too loud for a media room.

For those playing at home, buying a 2U or even 4U rack will on average be quieter (still sounds like a jet engine just after reboot until the SMC comes online).

Great read, thanks for sharing. Would love to see the natural language + code mixed in there :)

I've been interested in contrastive learning for a while, mainly as a means to train semantic code search models. OpenAI released a great paper on this topic called Text and Code Embeddings by Contrastive Pre-Training[1] that outlines the approach. I've used it as a base to build https://codesearch.ai [2] with pretty good results.

Not a bad idea, and I suspect it’s the MDF material coming undone over time due to moisture or something. I really did not hit the table hard at all!
It's true. COINTELPRO is old hat. Domestic Gladio is what the real people today are talking about.
I mean, frying foods creates acrylamide, which is a known carcinogen. Eating seafood exposes you to mercury. Sun exposure damages DNA.

Yes, alcohol is harmful, but in moderation, the harm is not that different than other toxins people are exposed to.
Sounds like something that a DNC/mainstream media bot-troll would say.
Let's not exagerate. You can run some programs, not all.
I find the opposite. TDD is great when you don't know what your program should look like. It gives you an opportunity to simulate how the program will be used on the outside, able to be quickly iterated upon until satisfaction, without having to write all the laborious internal code (often over and over again when exploring without TDD). Once you are happy with the result, then you just have to back and fill in the guts once.

If you know exactly what you need upfront, you can simply start coding, adding a sprinkling of acceptance tests to help catch mistakes. No need for TDD in that case.
So a significant amount, but most people would say that's an acceptable risk to continue their lifestyle. For comparison, living in an urban environment has a RR of 1.20 to 1.40 for lung cancer.

At what point does it make sense to replace the CPU and OS with custom hardware and software? At this point the CPU is basically doing TCP state maintenance and DMA supervision, but not much else, right?

I totally get the cost, convenience, and supply chain risk-value in commodity stuff that you can just go out and buy, but once you're bound to a single network card, this advantage starts to go away, and it seems like you're fighting with the entire system topology when it comes to NUMA, no? Why not a "TCP file send accelerator" instead of a whole computer?

Transclusion is a very good idea from my point of view. I saw and used it in Ivar Jacobson's Objectory tool and eventually also implemented it in my CrossLine and other tools (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/CrossLine, https://github.com/rochus-keller/FlowLine2/, etc.).

> all metrics that are important to us.

what does this even mean?
There are quite a lot of factors that affect lifespan. From what I understand from reading those studies, factors such as lack of stress, strong social contacts, exercise, sunlight exposure and good diet all likely play a large part in reducing mortality in these populations. Perhaps they would live even longer if they drank alcohol free wine? And how much wine do they actually drink?
> Plenty of people in law enforcement would wipe a drive if their family and debts were taken care of, even in face of prison.

This is beyond ridiculous:

(1) Someone in law enforcement that is in a position to meddle with the chain of evidence can already wipe incriminating evidence, which is already illegal. That would imply that the powerful already have a “get out of jail” card.

(2) There are a myriad of other places where corruption and bias can produce a “get out of jail” card, starting with who law enforcement chooses to investigate in the first place, and ending with who prosecutors decline to prosecute.

(3) Anyone in law enforcement is well-aware of just how horrific a place prison actually is, especially for someone previously in law-enforcement. Nobody is scrambling to wipe their debts to “take care of their family” while going to prison themselves.
I'm sure we can expand my list.
Anything is possible, but that doesn't mean it should be automatic as proposed.
Hi HN!

Yeah, the intention seems good – there’s some question about whether sugar industry funding shifted viewpoints but from what I have read that seems dubious compared to the simple explanation that the President wanted a policy now and people went with their instinct. He was later fired by Reagan because the beef industry didn’t like the low-fat guidelines so it’s not like this field doesn’t have all kinds of politics pulling in other directions, too.

I love the secretary problem. For me the value is in illustrating the idea that there can be a good stopping place even with uncertainty. It's a great antidote to the grass-is-always-greener fallacy that can keep one on the indecision train for far too long.

I don't use any of the math, but my simple version is to look at a reasonable* number of options and then pick whatever next one comes up that is reasonably* high in the distribution.

*A lot of gut feeling goes into this.

Trick for cheapo phones (especially China made Mediatek chipsets):

Point your phone at your hand, the same distance away as the flowers. Focus it on your hand. Lock the focus (and exposure and white balance - it seems you can never lock one without the other). Now point the phone at the flowers and take the photo.

Expensive phones normally support camera manual focus if you install the right app.
You don't need to know number of candidates if you know the total amount of time (and assume candidates come in uniformly at random).

Many justify a long-term, sometimes subtle (even vague) concept that has been codified through years of education, culture, propaganda, and tangible massive on-the-ground benefits. That concept and the reason people on the east coast (Hans) support exploiting, manipulating, and projecting power on the west (Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, etc.) is determined by geopolitics. In one case, China's water resources and long-term economic stability depend on controlling the highlands in the west. The rest is just fabricated reasoning sugarcoating their strategy to cover this strategic vulnerability. A typical Han Chinese with roots in the developed east might not think in these terms transparently. Still, it has years of education and the harsh reality of its region to transform this into an assortment of (un)justified reasoning. They need it to control and secure their stability.

This has also been the case in many other regions, for example, the Middle East, where such harsh geopolitical realities have been codified in different nationalistic and sectarian fractions.

Recently, I bought Keychron K3 which seems to be a comparable devices. A key feature for me, are the F*-Keys, which are often not available in the small keyboard class.

One thing that bothers me: The Keychron K3 doesn't have a dongle. So unless your computer has booted, you need the cable (e.g. hard disk decryption)... As far as I can see it, the Altar I has a similar design.

To have a better cable experience I bought a magnetic usb-c cable [1] and wondered why they don't ship with such a cable, because I enjoy it so much.

In a functional state the state police does that job.

> It was a totally unproven theory, and a weak one IMO...

It's not weak at all. The structure of that spike protein is extremely important in the virus's ability to "trick" host cells into letting it inside. Target the spike, and you'll always have a valid target unless that spike changes, which would likely interfere with the virus's ability to infect cells. Pretty strong logic to me.

> J&J, AZ, Moderna, Pfizer all released products that instructed your body to produce the spike protein.

Close, but no. J&J is a traditional vaccine, not an mRNA one. It doesn't instruct your body to produce the spike protein, it's just an inactivated form of COVID itself that triggers an immune response. The others you're correct about.

> It's interesting that in all this time, nobody has stepped up and declared which vaccine is best. Clearly, if any of them worked or still worked, we'd know which one was most efficacious by now.

J&J is 66.3% effective, AstraZeneca is 72% effective, and Moderna & Pfizer are around the same 95% effectiveness (all of these numbers are first-dose efficacy; boosters increase them all).

So... that data is available, I'm not sure why you think it's not.
I agree, but I see why they don’t want to skim the mortgages that could be paid off in a lump sum off the top of their bucket of dodgy loans.

I’d love to see the law change to force owners of debt to give the person that owes right of first refusal whenever debt is sold. (Mostly for medical debt and collections agency situations, but also for mortgages.)
They’re not selling individual mortgages for 300k usually. The buyer is buying a tranche and the risk that many of them won’t repay.
Taking the DTFT of a signal yields exactly the same amount of information, so it's not really more compact. Shazam used a spectrogram (which is more information than the original signal) and searched for peaks to create a finger print.

It's not the analysis that is compact, but the fingerprint derived from it.

To be honest, my friends share news stories with me when there is something big.

I tend to prefer to hear about the stories later on when there are more details and all the retractions have come out.
I love how their comments section censor any mention of him to D**k.

Big PKD fan myself, some of his stories seem impossibly fanciful and he does bang on about drugs an AWFUL lot but the stories can have a lot of insight in them all the same.

In one of his books, the characters take drugs so powerful reality itself changes. Bit rum even for PKD, I had thought. Until I read the account of a depression sufferer when asked how he knew his medication was kicking in. He said he felt no internal changes whatsoever, but knew it was working when other people starting being nicer to him. And I realised PKD had got to the truth of something, how we take drugs maybe not to change ourselves but our perceptions of the world, and if your perception of the world changes is that not the world changing?
These are the inverse of soft modems though. Those were just a PHY layer with the software driver doing all the DSP work. Softmodems removed DSP hardware. Modern image sensors have more smarts than just a CMOS sensor.

Better would be the inverse of the consequences when the defendant erases evidence - you just assume the destroyed evidence was whatever is worst for the prosecution and best for the defence.
Scan down the page to see the graph. It's an "s-curve" growth trend you'd expect in any species, as studied in ecology[1]. The expected peak was also put in the early 2020s by the Club of Rome studies in the 1970s[2]. Now we get to the fun part of seeing whether we level out at this population or go into collapse.

It also happens to be the normalization function used in neural networks to squash the summed inputs from a feed-forward layer. Interesting to think of the connection there.
> FBI has always selectively targeted politicians

The FBI was founded to go after politicians. Add in prosecutorial discretion and such an organisation will always be charged with selective enforcement. One of their first cases was prosecuting a murderer of wealthy Indians in Oklahoma the locals ignored [1]. Yes, it has a troubled history. But I haven’t seen a great argument for what could replace it as our nation’s anti-corruption and major crimes force.

If you really want a clean system, get network gear that runs off 48 volt DC power and avoid the AC stage completely.

On top of that, Imgur automatically deletes EXIF data, which would've prevented GGP from leaking their home address.
I know why Trump fans want to get rid of the FBI, because then they have a much easier time bribing local officials than a larger bureaucratic organization. I have no doubt that corruption exists within the FBI but if anything we've seen corruption exist much more in smaller groups within law enforcement.
Google doesn't celebrate the history of Writely or Android-pre-Google that much and Microsoft don't promote the history of Excel-pre-Microsoft that much either.
People call it a story because it's an obvious lie. The CIA has declassified dozens of documents where they admit they can pull data right off iCloud/iMessage. Chinese citizens run a version of iOS that subjects them to perpetual government surveillance. Macbooks send telemetry back to Apple every time you launch an app. The App Store sells it's own personalized ads. Maybe Apple protects your security, but your privacy is something they don't give a rat's ass about.

>This is a complete and unacceptable breach of the public trust, and of civil liberties.

I agree, and I hope the agent is sentenced harshly. However, given that this was a plea deal, I would expect him to get only a few years in jail. Although usually this is at the discretion of the judge.

But yes I think any LEOs should consider it not just a moral, ethical and legal violation of trust to do things like this, but to actively fear the consequences if they give in to the urge to cheat. In other words, a rational selfish person would NOT cheat because the EV is far too low.
The problem with that narrative is that apple does not apply the same rules to themselves. I actually agree with apple tracking should be optional, however why should apple get a free pass?
You are probably right in many cases.

I'm not convinced that it quite extends to the entire spectrum of junk food, though. Processing oreos (feel free to replace with anything else) quite so much may bring the cost down, but I doubt that it actually does anything to feed people.
And in addition, to say we can use encryption to fight the surveillance state is a tacit admission that the system actually works as described, or at least that is the intent. And again Dick was not trying to predict actual technology. He was mainly thinking about how it could be used, and he was frequently on the mark.
I think it's great. Too often, when a larger company acquires a smaller one, they try to erase all history and culture of the smaller company. Obviously, there is still a self-congratulatory tone to this press release, but I think it's nice that they're recognizing Shazam's past.
But I'm certain that there is no such thing as "autism" but a varying set of disorders with vaguely similar symptoms.

That's the definition of autism, so you'd be correct. Autism is a diagnosis of the symptoms, not any particular cause. And a diagnosis covers a wide array of symptoms (often related to social interaction, but not always), of which any particular person might only have a few.
I agree. These studies view life on strict biological terms, which, in their defense, is the only way to quantify life. While some folks here believe that any amount of alcohol is poison, it's also true that red wine and fatty beef are an excellent pairing. And drinking a cocktail with friends is time well spent.

> can already wipe incriminating evidence, which is already illegal. That would imply that the powerful already have a “get out of jail” card

We’re referencing a case where a state senator was convicted despite a drive (of potentially exculpatory evidence) being wiped. Then the guy who wiped the drive was caught and charged. So no.

OP suggested the defendant be “automatically found not guilty.” Not fruit of the poisoned tree, where evidence can’t be used. Automatic exoneration.

> myriad of other places where corruption and bias can produce a “get out of jail” card, starting with who law enforcement chooses to investigate in the first place

Nothing automatic. Also, this is why we have overlapping jurisdiction.

> law enforcement is well-aware of just how horrific a place prison actually is

LEO doesn’t get sent to standard prison, largely for safety reasons.
The IVAR system is, in my book, absolute complete junk. I couldn't get it to even attempt to work correctly, it wobbled when it wasn't collapsing, and to make insult even worse, it was more expensive than actual industrial wire shelving.
