Well, that's a bug in the HTTP cookie spec. Regrettable, but as you note something that should have been foreseen. There's absolutely no excuse, as RFC6265 itself notes "cookies contain a number of security and privacy infelicities."

I have no medical expertise but I do know that overwhelmingly those who do have expertise took the “vaccine” and the booster shots. It does not matter to me what word you use to denote the COVID vaccine. I do hope anti-vaxers become rare. They are a menace and are incredibly selfish and self-centered.

It is that you don't like it, unless you know exactly what his goal is and are in an authoritative position to say it is impossible.

You also are saying they're scams.

And just about all the rocket and self driving and electric car companies and government organizations I listed massively over promised things. Tesla and Space X aren't the worst of the bunch as far as I can see. How are you measuring these over promises compared with others?

I think what this looks like is you just personally hate Musk and are trying to come up with reasons for it that don't sound petty or unreasonable. You don't have to, you're allowed to hate him for whatever reason you like, and you don't have to explain yourself to anybody.
This will not end well.

> Everything would be ok for the 1950 kid youd drop anywhere. He would be fine and happy.

Sure. It was a happy and golden time for everyone.

So, one of the amazing things about the modern world is that actual information is at everyone's fingertips, which I find is better than anecdotal conjecture. A quick google away, I can find this document: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1380550/pdf/amj...

From this we can learn that since 1950 the mortality rate among 5-14 year olds has declined at an average rate of 2% per year, largely due to reductions in accident rates (particularly motor vehicle accidents) and deaths due to disease. Of any group of random kids of that age in the US, in 1950 pretty much twice as many of them would be dead by 14 than in the present day. If they were black and male, in 1950 their mortality rate from 5-14 was one in a thousand. That it's only half that today is... still pretty shocking.

And that's just the changing rate for kids encountering the worst possible outcome, during their childhood. What other outcomes have changed? Well, drop a boy randomly in the US in 1950, and from 1964 onwards there's about a 10% chance he gets drafted and sent to Vietnam. Or we could look at the other end of the outcome scale: If your hypothetical kid was a 5 year old girl dropped in 1950 America, she'd have very different opportunities compared to a modern child - she'd be 24 before the first women were admitted to Princeton or Yale, for example. If your 1950 experiment dropped a gay kid into America, well... if they're lucky, they're in Illinois where homosexuality becomes legal in 1962. If they're in Texas, they have to wait until 2003.

About a third of kids in 1950 lived in poverty in the US. That improved a lot over the 60s and 70s. Nowadays it's... around a fifth. Still shocking, but again, your odds look better today than 70 years ago.

And let's not get into the ethical issues of your 'drop a random kid somewhere in the US' plan where that might result in dropping a black child in Mississippi before the Civil Rights act of 1964, where they would grow up under Jim Crow. This kid would spend 4 years in segregated schooling before Brown v Board (and probably years after that waiting for desegregation to actually happen), and our hypothetical 1950 5 year old would turn 18 two years before the Voting Rights act.

Yeah. They'd be fine and happy.

I am a huge Hemingway fan. He ended up marrying a woman that had more macho than he did. He didn't like it very much and ended up cheating on her knowing she'd end the marriage.

Hi. Longtime Hong Kong resident here. Public housing and private housing in HK could both be described, in terms of appearance, as copy-pasted. Quality of construction is exceedingly poor (to get the flavor, you could watch this new-build home inspection video from local TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShJtbmkjKG8) and backwards (e.g. single-pane windows are the norm, walls have zero insulation, etc.).

The wait list for public housing is many years long. Depending on whose numbers you believe, between 100k and 200k people are living in subdivided apartments (which, in some cases, translates to a bed inside a literal metal cage -- hence the term "cage apartments"). Private housing costs have gone down very slightly thanks to political developments and purported pandemic control policies, but prices for badly-built, tiny, puzzle-piece-shaped apartments in huge copy-pasted high-rises are eye-wateringly high.

I had been looking to improve my home network and was about to buy a Unifi Dream Machine Pro-SE and some access points when I read Krebs initial article on Ubiquiti being compromised (coupled with HN commenters really dogpiling on Ubiquiti). Since then, I must have spent 40 hours trying to find a comparable alternative before my discomfort with the opacity of my prior setup drove me to surrender and buy what I had planned out a year ago.

I still think highly of Krebs, but I'm pretty irritated that he wasted so much of my time by reporting something so poorly sourced.
Anything you invent that can confine software from the outside will become SELinux. SELinux is actually really simple, you tag stuff and write rules about what tags can and can’t do to other tags. And writing your own policies, while strange and esoteric because it uses m4, is straightforward.

SELinix is hard because you really have to know what’s going on with your software to actually write these policies. The complexity is in creating a maintainable system of tags and rules with software that does all kinds of crazy weird things.

The complexity is irreducible. The only thing you can really do is create tools to handle common cases and that’s semanage.

>I can see on LinkedIn right now there are jobs for a company that will identify and help you reduce your companies carbon footprint, there are a couple looking at Vision based Machine Learning for automated sorting of recycling.

Online shopping could be considered useful, but ad development isn't useful? You do you realize what the online shopping business model is built upon, right?

And what is the revenue stream for Linkedin Jobs? What allows them to provide this product, for free, to you?

How does the B2B carbon footprint reduction company find its clients?

What business model does HN leverage in order to provide a discussion forum about how ad development is useless? (The irony here is especially amusing)

Are they? Do you know why China stopped submitting any supercomputers to Top500 despite widespread reports of two exascale supercomputers coming online? And why would they prioritize commercial chip sales over national security projects?

AMD and Google have already beat Nvidia at the ML accelerator hardware game in the past. Google TPUs have had the edge over Nvidia cards for a few years, and AMD spent almost a decade with an edge in compute over Nvidia at every level. It's just that Google TPUs aren't commercially available and AMD GPUs lacked the software stack and critical mass.

Actually building a fast ML accelerator is far from a monumental task. It's difficult, but well within the reach of a country which fully designed a Top10 processor by itself. And now has the means to manufacture super high end chips.

It's not a case of intermediate decade or two. The Chinese are pretty much already there. They already have at least one indigenous exascale supercomputer and their own 7nm process. They can make an ML accelerator comparable to the A100 if they want to. Believe it or not, there are only so many ways of doing matrix multiplication in hardware. The hard part is lithography, and they did it.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, but SMIC wanted to keep their 7nm production secret to reduce incentives for the US to force ASML to stop 28nm lithography machines, keeping the impression that banning the sale of EUV machinery was enough to stop their advances. That's why they mix everything under 28nm in their financial reports, to show their very strong profitability without tipping their hand.
I'm sure. But it's data we don't even have right now. We don't even know every chemical that naturally occurs in the body, how are we supposed to predict how they could interact with novel chemicals? Some day, though, it may be possible. There was a point where people couldn't imagine these image generation AIs working
The assumption is that the expert is wrong. Frequently some experts who hold contrarian opinions which are against the mainstream narrative are usually vindicated with time.

For instance lets say CDC recommends people to wash their hands with water/sanitizer. There is a group of experts who question the efficacy of it. These experts should not be punished. Least of by layman/politicians/lawmakers/noobs who have no clue about the subject matter.
IMO, we need to regulate online advertising. By allowing advertisers to fund websites and apps, we allow them to be used as platforms for mass hype and dissemination of "junk" (bait).

The "Twitter prof" is the academic who has learnt to master the advertiser-funded hype machine.

The internet should be an advertising-free internetwork as it once was.

Everyone reading this comment and enjoying this forum is using a non-commercial website. There is no advertiser funding.

When we fail regulate so-called "tech" companies, we watch the value of the internetwork continually degraded to nothing more than a means to advertise and disseminate "junk".
When you get right down to it the issue is port numbers just plain don't work for this. SELinux had some concept of sending SELinux security contexts over the network so you could get positive claims about what you were talking to, but it was never developed into a full system AFAIK.

Which is ultimately what you want: TLS "I'm securely talking to the controller of this domain name" and then a secondary "within that controllers namespace, I'm definitely talking to the service I think I am".
> Give me some path in /sys where I can write a message of some kind, or an ioctl, which allows me to say "user httpd can bind to port 80". Or even as specific as user, port, protocol (TCP/UDP/etc) and ip address.

So, regular file permissions for ports. It would be nice if we had 9p's concept of a network filesystem here. No ioctl() needed.

My google medical degree defines a vaccine as:

"a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease."

Steriods and antibodies don't meet this definition. No vaccine has a 100% success rate, so reducing symptoms doesn't make it not a vaccine.
I tend to use between 1 insulin unit and 15 for meals. I don't want to take 15 little pills for that meal with more carbohydrates. What if I need 8 units of insulin for a meal? Do I need to take a 5 unit pill and three 1 unit pills? Too much work, no thanks, let me just take the little shot in all of 3 seconds in my tummy.

I live in Indonesia where the weather can exceed the safe storage temperature for insulin; it is a pain in the ass keeping my extra insulin cold when there's a power storage (unopened insulin needs to stay in the fridge until it's ready to use). So pills would be better than vials for this reason. In terms of every day convenience though, shots really aren't that bad after you've had enough. By a rough estimate, I've given myself over 25,000 shots in my life. That is a lot of used syringes and medical waste, but my point is, shots aren't that big of a deal for most diabetics.

Insulin pens[1] are very convenient. They fit in your pocket, and you just dial the dose, poke yourself, push the button, done. Aside from having to keep them cool, I have no motivation at all to switch to a less convenient system.

> take "inclusion", there's a lot of work showing that a more diverse, inclusive population leads to better results (in social siences etc.) so it's obvious for me that people will use it more

I imagine it would be difficult getting a paper published that shows otherwise since diversity, equity, and inclusion have seemingly become tantamount to unquestionable religious dogma.

For example, you have the Biden administration publishing this blatantly contradictory guidance:

> The scientific integrity principles and best practices identified in the report aim to ensure that science is conducted, managed, communicated, and used in ways that preserve its accuracy and objectivity and protect it from suppression, manipulation, and inappropriate influence—including political interference.

>

> […]

>

> Scientific integrity policies should be modernized to address important, emergent issues of our time. They must advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility

https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/01/11/whit...

Then you have Nature with this “ethics guidance” that seem to suggest it would be considered unethical to publish a study that challenges the present narrative of diversity, equity, and inclusion:

> Academic content that […] promotes privileged, exclusionary perspectives raises ethics concerns that may require revisions or supersede the value of publication.

> Science has for too long been complicit in perpetuating structural inequalities and discrimination in society. With this guidance, we take a step towards countering this.

> Consideration of risks and benefits (above and beyond any institutional ethics review) underlies the editorial process of all forms of scholarly communication in our publications. Editors consider harms that might result from the publication of a piece of scholarly communication, may seek external guidance on such potential risks of harm as part of the editorial process, and in cases of substantial risk of harm that outweighs any potential benefits, may decline publication (or correct, retract, remove or otherwise amend already published content).

> Regardless of content type (research, review or opinion) and, for research, regardless of whether a research project was reviewed and approved by appropriate ethics specialists, editors may raise with the authors concerns regarding potentially sexist, misogynistic, and/or anti-LGBTQ+ assumptions, implications or speech in their submission; engage external ethics experts to provide input on such issues as part of the peer review process; or request modifications to (or correct or otherwise amend post-publication), and in severe cases refuse publication of (or retract post-publication) sexist, misogynistic, and/or anti-LGBTQ+ content

You mean things that can be challenged in court as opposed to a unilateral, unelected bureaucracy?
I reject that hypothesis outright and submit another one:

It's the cameras. They're everywhere now.
Of course the courts wouldn't say they don't actually have jurisdiction. No matter who you side with, the court obviously wouldn't ever just give up it's own power to regulate like that.
Draws of three make luck a major component. If you're disadvantaged against 1/3rd of the field you could end up in a pod with two people you're bad against and ruin your entire Olympics.
Also if the ratio went from more or less 50-50% M:F to now to 90%+ male and the male portion leans heavily older...

So women are not showing up and the men who show up are old geezers...

So no young woman would want to be looked and stared at especially by the old geezers who are the majority.

A problem is that training huge model costs $$. https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1563870674111832066

I wonder is it possible to distribute the task for volunteer's idle GPU (like BOINC)
I think the "sexualization and commodification" explanation is insufficient. The advent of cameras connected to the Internet didn't really add anything in this regard. Someone could always go to a nude beach to gather material mentally, so to speak, and sexualize and commodify the people there. All that changed was how many people would be potentially able to look at the people at the beach. So to me that sounds like plain old shame.
It's a copy past of the TSMC process because they were able to offer far higher higher salaries and attract TSMC talent. Given the reality that they have a lot of that talent and more each year and given the excellent track record of SMIC leadership, they will probably be able to advance on this, limited by the lithography machines they can procure.

If their yield was abysmal, no one would be willing to buy the chips since they aren't selling them at a loss and have plenty of public sector demand. The fact that they were able to sell them commercially and thus competitively means that their yields are okay at least.
Your video is talking about 256-bit symmetric encryption. RSA is asymmetric encryption. RSA 2048 is ~112 bits of protection when comparing to symmetric keys, kinda. We're still talking a long time with current computing hardware though.

> For example, if SHA-256 is used with RSA and a 2048-bit key, the
combination can provide no more than 112 bits of security because a 2048-bit RSA key cannot provide more than 112 bits of security strength

It seems you're focusing on the fact that a conditional statement can be logically true independent of whether its hypothesis itself has any merit. (e.g. the proposition "If the sun goes dark tomorrow, then within a few years most people on earth will almost certainly be dead" is sound, even if the sun probably doesn't go dark tomorrow)

But like GP said, the conditional statements themselves presuppose that vaccines are the only variable affecting life expectancy. But that's not true, there are other factors.
