Surprise! surprise. surprise ...

Just another mechanism like Jails, the medical systems, the welfare system etc

When you are within a system of receiving say $1000 a month or maybe $10,000 a month while you the beneficiary remain ignorant and hooked on the "Universal basic income (UBI)" or welfare cheque, or free pills, or 'prison cell'

yet the administrator keeps the rest - when will you wake up - educate yourself and claim the full beneficiary income??!!

you deserve all you get - do you remain a plebeian (citizen) or work towards patrician (denizen)?
thanks! i was just last week looking for what the config might be to turn this on for firefox and didn't find it (didn't try very hard tho).

i tried using firefox's experimental :has() on my personal css framework that's using all the latest features css features like :has(). on first glance, it looks like there are some bugs with firefox, but i'm excited that they're working on it. the simple parent selector case seems to work, but complex layout seems to confuse the layout engine.

:has() is easily my most anticipated css feature since grid at least (wish safari would support subgrid!).
It's only controversial in the minds of purists/"maximalists" who are too invested in BTC. Their arguments would be something like:

- PoS is not "decentralized" nor "democratic", because it means that only those with capital can participate in the network consensus building. This is "technically correct", but (a) it ignores that existing PoW also require massive amounts of capital to deploy mining facilities and (b) it is not democratic because only those with access to cheap electricity will profit from being a miner.

- PoS implies that those staking their crypto are "investing" with their tokens, which would make the token a "security" and not a "currency". This distinction could make it easy for the SEC and governments to intervene and create regulation that would require stakers to only participate if they implement changes at the protocol level. E.g, it could happen that a staker would reject to validate any block containing transactions to smart contracts that got sanctioned. This is a more real concern, if you think about all the big players (read, centralized exchanges) who are staking ETH on behalf of their customers and therefore will have non-negligible control over the network. In this case, the community expectation is that (a) users of staked ETH pull out of the exchanges and run their own validators and (b) the exchanges realize that they will be shooting themselves in the foot, and therefore go on to fight whatever legislation that pushes on that type of control/censorship at the protocol level.
That's not happening because MAID is much cheaper. That's the way it is in my part of Europe anyway.
The HW requirements increase very very minimally.

Unless you live in four dimensions, of course. Not that I do, I'm definitely a creature of three, and only three, spatial dimensions.
This reminds me of a story that an old professor of theoretical physics told me. In the early nineties, he left the former Soviet Union for the United States to teach physics at one of the top universities. There he encountered the fact that American students were fantastically good at solving all his standard problems for integrals. It quickly became clear that the students were using the then-new program for symbolic calculations, Mathematica. As a result, our professor also mastered Mathematica and spent half the night finding such integrals that it still could not calculate for assignments.

I use Copilot every day and I can assure you it makes a lot of mistakes. I think that, at least in the short term, CS teachers will still find assignments where it makes mistakes.
I would still learn at least basics of TCP and IP, so that you are aware e.g. what firewalls do and how this shows up on the client side (vs when nothing is listening on the port but the port is otherwise open), what private IP ranges are, or what a timeout look like. These are the basics which are going to be extremely relevant when you start troubleshooting. Especially if they slap a docker image on their VPS. There's a frightening number of people who can't tell DNS resolution failure from a timeout, think they are going to get HTTP 500 if server breaks the connection, or don't take those failures into account (and it shows up in how they design their code).
Ask HN: Is it ethical/correct for DALL-E to charge money?
Since it's using lots of copyrighted data and someone else work to be "trained", is it ok to charge money for it?
If I understood them correctly, hover has a (terrible) mechanism where if you've changed your NS to a third party for some domain, it automatically sets all new registered domains to the same NS. This would then leave you wide open to this sort of attack unless you make sure to immediately go on that third-party and associate each new domain with your account there too.

So it could be solved by going back to first-party NS on hover (though I couldn't figure out in their UI how to do this), but the overall poor decision on their part undermines my confidence in their entire service, so that's why I'm switching registrars (I'd already seen people on here praise porkbun, I just didn't have a specific reason to go through the transfer process)
This is hilariously perfect.
I prefer to just use virt-manager. It is a more comparable alternative. Gnome Boxes is cool to showcase virtualization for people that might not have any experience, but it is very dumbed down. People are going to want to optimize their Windows virtualization and Gnome Boxes is not the best place to do it.

I guess I should note that I never said anything about abolishing the existing state. But for us regular people I think there are better models for an economy. And we can form cooperatives and do things however we want. I just happen to believe it would be better for pretty much everyone to abandon things like patents and private wealth accumulation in favor of cooperative economic models.

Absolute nihilism of all living things probably isn’t as obvious a philosophy as your comment makes it seem.

If nothing in life is valuable, including life itself, what gives? Do you still value less suffering over more suffering? Am I misunderstanding your perspective?
As a security guy, I'm always worried about secrets living in Env variables because it's an easy place for them to leak. (Many loggers will automatically log env vars, for example.)

That's why many services, like Kubernetes, have moved away from this model by either serving the secrets up in a runtime-mounted file (like /var/secrets.yaml) or by requiring you to make an explicit API call (SecretsManager.readSecret("foo")).

From a security perspective, those paths require a much more difficult exploit like full Remote Code Execution (RCE) in order to leak values.

The downside is that it requires modifying application logic to migrate away from Env vars though. Usually it's pretty easy, but if you have tons of legacy code I'm sure that often presents a challenge.
> I'd place this at roughly at 0.01% chance for any major exchange or fund

Over 0.01% of major exchanges and funds have been hacked or scammed this month.
Sorry about that, I'll check this out later today/tomorrow! The three top levels (Rank/Genre/Country) are an intersection, so you need at least one thing checked in each... I'm not sure if you did that but it may have lead to no tracks.

And yeah... it should be showing the Electronica header there. Hopefully I can reproduce this, and the code isn't that complex.

If you have one thing in Rank checked, one thing in Country checked (All), Rock checked, and within Rock Post Rock checked that should be a valid filter. There _is_ a possibility that no post rock music has topped charts in a month (which is about all the scraped tracks I can store in 2gb) so it's just not finding anything to show you. If you press the next button it may say something like "No tracks found".

Edit: Probably just really need more space. But maybe in the meantime I could show hints about the number of tracks in each subcategory after the category name...
So what is the point of high fees under proof of stake? Before it was to reward the miners. Who exactly is being rewarded high fees once it changes and for what purpose?

If the costs to run a validator are too expensive or need too many resources then you just end up promoting a centralized solution.
1. Punishment mechanisms here are kind of complicated, but in short, you're punished for mainly 2 reasons: being an offline validator, or for an attestation violating.

Slashers are entities that enforce the two above rules. If a slasher determines that you're node is down, or that you're committing an attestation violation (i.e. that you're signing more than one attestation in a given epoch mainly). The slasher actually does not get rewarded here. The block proposer who takes the broadcasted slashing and and adds a proof of it to their block proposition, and get what's called a whistleblower reward. Slashing is not meant to profitable, and the whistleblower reward is quite small. We don't need a million slashers, in fact, we could operate with just one... expect the Eth Foundation to run them, among other large players who can spare the resources.

2. Owning 2/3 of nodes economically is kind of silly. You essentially just 51% the network, and everyone else leaves. You're then stuck with a worthless personal currency. Have fun!

3. More than one validator means more validator rewards, and a bit more "power" in that you're a larger component of the general validation network.
Why would it need to be a significant amount of ETH? Could someone coordinate an attack on validator nodes, making themselves 67%+ temporarily?
Harsh. But unimpressive. There are things that don't require years to understand.

And if after those years, one still does not understand, maybe they don't care to. Do you?

Regarding condescension, I humbly suspect some ignorance on your part too, not for the tone of your reply, but for what I've seen some doctors do and not do, say and not say, and... your unwillingness to consider. Your statement followed by "thus" is very much beneath your intellectual acuity. I assume I hit a sore spot, but my intent here was sincerely, if you'll entertain the possibility, to read through a hoped-for extensive discussion. You're actually among the type I was hoping to receive (slightly less confrontational) insight from.

No offense taken and insight well taken, though I could use a bit more.

I'm not feeling well at this point tonight and will probably end my replies here.
By 'proof' I suspect you mean, at a minimum, the following?

> a conviction in a US court of law for at least the specific crimes alleged, or more serious crimes/charges/convictions of the same nature.
2D maps all have different features and drawbacks. It’s like you’re saying that because our databases don’t offer all of consistency, availability, and partition tolerance, that it’s a reflection on how the technology sector as a whole doesn’t care about data. But it’s not that. Someone has to make a trade-off somewhere, because of math. 2D maps are inherently distortions.
It definitely takes a bit of power away from miners, and it adds a bit of complication to the overall consensus mechanism of the chain.
This works! Good points, I'll look into adding a note.

This is a hack around the Bandcamp embedded player, injecting code in a weird way and reverse engineering some stuff -- I actually tried to hook it up to the "media control api" for play/pause/next/volume but I wasn't able to get it to work properly.

I'm +1 for the feature though, if I can figure out how to get it to work. I'm a keyboard person too.
ML applications apparently don't need the full precision, but they do need very large amounts of them, and process enough of them that the perf win from fewer bits is meaningful and the cost of f16->f32 is large enough to also be meaningful.

Presumably they do benefit from the dynamic range as otherwise you'd think int16 would be sufficient, and not suffer the conversion costs.
> occam-2 having only static arrays and no concept of a record/struct

Which is remarkable since Tony Hoare is actually also the inventor of the records concept. In the corresponding publication in the Algol Bulletin 21 from 1965 there is even a quote by Occam ;-)
This post is extremely stupid, reeks of ignorant arrogance. And one like it seems to pop up every month.

Why don't we ever folks like this ever ask, "when will AI replace SWE?"

Afterall SWEs deal with deterministic systems that follow well-understood laws of physics, while doctors deal with humans with all their capricious complexities. By any logical thought, software engineering is orders of magnitude more replaceable by AI than doctors, yet the people writingb these posts don't ever consider themselves threatened to be replaced by AI. Arrogant ignorance.
It’s not the layman’s explanation because the average person doesn’t encounter mathematical problems being solved by a brute force lottery.

In high school math, problems are solved by choosing the right formula and plugging in the right variables. Throwing the dice trillions of times isn’t what people imagine when they hear “solving a complex mathematical problem.” That framing is designed to make PoW more acceptable to laypersons, as it sounds like the computation is useful or at least clever rather than intentionally designed to waste energy.

Boxes seems to be trying to target a non-existent market - dumbed-down virtualization. At least in my experience, when I'm running VM's, I typically want a sane set of defaults backed up by the ability to customize to the maximum degree in order to replicate the target environment. Virt-manager does this exceptionally well, as the author correctly notes. Virt-manager also allows you to connect to remote libvirt hosts and access remote VMs as well - which is exceptionally useful.
It doesn't baffle me; it seems pretty obvious.

Given that huge populations are consuming sugar water daily, and given the health consequences of this, information on which type of sugar water has the least-bad long-term effects is extremely valuable for harm-reduction efforts.

If "everyone should just stop drinking soda" was actually a strategy that worked, then the problem would have already been solved. It didn't work, or hasn't worked yet, so it's worth trying to check whether the variations advertised as less-harmful are actually less-harmful or not.
There are some quite intriguing answers to your query. We now have a thing that generates "art" in response to an input.

I suggest learning how to use a few graphics packages instead when you have a need. eg, this evening my wife wanted to print a birthday card for a dog that she is boarding. I fired up Inkscape and discovered a bug wrt handling an imported photo, scaling it and cropping it with a mask. lol! I was able to export it to a .png and print from something else.

Anyway, I was a little unfortunate and IT is still rather shakey. However, discussions about DALL-E are way more interesting than actually using it yourself. You see some seriously intelligent solutions to getting a desired image that is surely a form of programming. DALL-E does not even have a real natural language pre-processor because it is hamstrung to dump pejorative terms etc. This means that I can draw the classic, dreadful plan of the cargo hold of a slaver ship from the 17/18C and its cargo but I doubt DALL-E can.

The q&a about this thing are way more complex and interesting than its actual output! A is right, I it isn't. DALL-E is quite interesting but it really isn't intelligent. The intelligent bit is getting the input right for the desired output. Perhaps another model could be developed for that.
>Meanwhile, someone who has Stanford or Harvard on their resume is virtually guaranteed an interview.

The funny thing is though - the CS programs at Stanford or Harvard are more research based than anything and hardly teach students to code. You are forced to take maybe 1 or 2 "learn to code" courses and everything else is just math/theory or assumes you can code anyways. And that shouldn't be a surprise; it doesn't take 4 years to learn to code; there are plenty of 15 year olds who can pass leetcode style interviews. Everything else you learn is far more valuable (although it's not a given that you will get a chance to apply it).
Good news, they fixed it by no longer allowing execution of anything (even .desktop files) by double clicking.

The state of desktop Linux just depresses me. Gnome especially, it just gets worse, and never seems to focus on the problems that actually matter.

When I looked into low-budget mailing list management, I ended up spinning up a ListMonk instance. (It's free/open source.) But you still end up needing to connect it to a mailing backend like AWS SES or similar. If you want to avoid SES, I'm not sure what better alternatives there are, but I'd like to know too!

Anyone want to help build an open source social media platform?
I've been finding my performance and motivation at my current web developer job has been declining over the years. I've been reading a lot of self help and psychology books lately, and I think that the problem is simply that I don't care about, or believe in, the company I work at. We exist to make money really. I mean we do provide a service, but so much of it is locked behind over priced paywalls, and my job consists of running experiments on users to essentially milk as much money from them as possible. It's like my mind wants to revolt because I don't think we're doing good for the world (at best neutral), and yet my main work in life is to help them.

So I think, what could I build on my own that impassions me? Well, anger is a great motivator. Find a problem that makes you angry, and that can inspire an entire company vision. For me, I truly think social media might lead to some sort of collapse of our society, in some form. Especially now with Horizon on the... horizon.. I'm just genuinely concerned that fuckerberg is going to turn our world into his own circus.

So why not an open source social media platform? The initial ideas from me:

* Create a discord so we can start talking and collaborating
* 100% of the code (front and back end) would be hosted online for anyone to contribute to or fork, so full transparency
* Eventually, there may be some salaries for whoever ends up maintaining it, but it will be strictly not-for-profit
* Ideally completely donation supported with no ads, and the donated money details could be made public, so everyone could see what was in the bank, how long the service could keep live on donations, and some sort of ledger so any withdraws and their purpose were public as well
* All features of a modern social media platform should be supported, so video (short and long), pictures, text posts, followers, friends, comments, explore, several different types of feeds. This could actually be a great opportunity to brainstorm how we could incorporate the best features from all the current major players and perhaps make something even better
* We could start a kickstarter too!

This is my first post with this idea, so I'm partially just trying to see if it resonates with anyone else and if there's enough people who'd be willing to help with a cause like this. To me, social media is perhaps becoming too ubiquitous and influential to be for profit, and maybe it needs the Wikipedia treatment?
I got my MS directly after my BS without looking for work. In my case, your claim is that experience was actually detrimental to my knowledge, somehow erasing part of the value of my BS.

I was on the graphics team and the tech lead (an engineer named Tom Dowdy) went off to SIGGRAPH one year and came back to the office stoked about blue noise. He said we ought to implement it in our dithering algorithm — which I believe he promptly did (guessing QuickTime).

Turning on/off Blue Noise in the OP's demo makes clear to me how good it was.

So I've actually spent about a year of my life working to solve this exact problem. Specifically: How do you prevent a single point of failure from leaking everything sensitive in a database.

It turns out that it's a pain in the rear, but it's possible. You can read through the docs about the design on the site[0].

The parts that I haven't implemented yet, and that limit it's utility in production, are around searching the encrypted data (requires a second vault using asymmetric encryption) and some more in-depth disaster recovery (secure token recovery).

Here is a link to the GitHub[1] for it all.
