That's considered part of the team strategy in F1 to maximize the chances of getting both drivers and constructors championships. Team orders of this kind are issued at almost every race.
I was thinking the same thing as I was reading the wiki -- this event could make for an absurd but fantastic movie. And yes, filmed in the style of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" would be especially entertaining.
The world is complex now, it was simple back then, let me explain. I was thinking the other day, in 1950, you could drop a kid randomly anywhere on the map (say the U.S. but not necessarily), he would easily find its way: to the farm, to the factory, to the military or to the church. Everything would be ok for the 1950 kid youd drop anywhere. He would be fine and happy. Drop a kid nowdays and youd be dropping a body, virtually. Very little chance the kid would end up ok, employed nor happy. It's certainly exagerated but you get the idea.
Yes, the university taking 60-70% is almost highway robbery, but it is hard to completely disassociate from them. For one, the university can through economies of scale reduce the cost of setting up and running experimental facilities. Moreover, one usually finds motivated researchers in academic settings (I am anticipating dissent here, since that could be because of the funding flowing only through Universities). However talented and motivated researchers usually find other work situations which while to fully aligning to their erstwhile research interests, pay for a good life. Those who really have the passion that exceeds the mundane normalisation of drive ( also called life per some definition) usually seek refuge in the academic setting. So, yes if we can set up labs like the old Bell labs or find a way to replicate the tenure model of universities, taking funding away from the univ mechanism and giving it to individual unaffiliated researchers won't be practical. But even if that can be achieved, you have just replaced universities with a slightly different structure. Better option is to trim the fat and realign priorities at universities, which is also easier said than done. Cushy administrator jobs, student housing mansions with 5 star facilities, large stadium colosseum all should go.. But systemic reasons, societal perception, need to justify legacy admission all factor in here as strong headwinds.
Isn’t the venerable spreadsheet a popular and quite working example of a declarative functional environment?
I'm surprised by the comments on this topic. The art generated by AI is not the product. AI generation is a tool that artists (and non artists to some extent) can use to take away a lot of the tedium. I think of it as AI assisted art.

My bets on second order consequences:

1. 3D world generation based on prompts

2. Ambient music and sounds

3. Character modeling

4. And yes, interactive storytelling.

Imagine getting these models to a decent enough shape and having a 3D printer hooked.

Speech to Text -> Prompt Validation and Cleanup -> 2D Image -> 3D Models -> Printed Object.

Humans add, correct, guide, direct the vision and AI does the gruntwork all through the pipeline.

The fact that Clouflare has decided it is in the better interest of the Internet that one website gets to break their AUP because they've become a cause célébre is so amateurish. Business to business relationships don't work that way. You break the contract, you're out. That's what's in the interest of the Internet. Upholding business contracts.

I'm not a diabetic, but is there really anything on the market even comparable to what the researchers here are suggesting, that is, dissolved (not swallowed) insulin pill delivery with performance equivalent to rapid-acting injection?
I agree with the article and that this is archaic, but find it very strange how this person gets on a soap box... only to screw over everyone in the end using ports under 80 in the proposal (I guess nobody needs SSH?). If anyone is going to go through this work of changing the default unprivileged port start point hopefully they would just start at 0.
You can go down the rabbit hole at federalregister.gov. Here's a couple places where they talk about it:

You'll probably have to dig quite a bit to find the latest rules and regulations.

These regulations go back to at least the Export Control Act of 1968. Every CPU/GPU maker would have a legal team that understands these rules.
Biren was co-founded with Lingjie Xu, who was a senior GPU architect at Nvidia from 2008 through 2010, then a GPU architect at AMD for two years after that before taking a job as manager of GPU architecture at Samsung for five years after that!
Considering how much the world depends on global shipping. This one point of failure is terrifying. Literally millions of people could experience hardship, rising prices, shortages and even death if this place stays blocked.

Prepping still looks like a good idea. Should shortages and conflict develop this coming winter.
This is a good example of the antiquated security model we need to put firmly in the past. If you’re depending on Linux’s privileged port mechanism to protect your Windows boxes, many things have already failed:

1. Your network should be segmented and authenticated: a Linux box listening on port 445 shouldn’t matter because it’s not in a network group which receives that.

2. Your Windows boxes should have their firewalls enabled since they shouldn’t normally be making SMB connections to your Linux servers.

3. Your Linux boxes should have their firewalls configured.

4. Your Windows boxes shouldn’t be accepting requests from strangers to connect over SMB.

Another way to think about it: if there’s a major Windows vulnerability, is it more likely that it’ll be attacked by a Linux box or someone in accounting clicking on the wrong PDF? Ultimately you just can’t trust the client - the percentage of times where someone can run code on your Linux box but can’t get root or attack something on a different port is just not enough to rely on for anything. Since you already know you need to protect against those other things, just focus on doing that.
It's also famously one of the hard problems.

There is also a game (now a family of games) built around this concept, where you get a Street View location without seeing the map, and you have to figure out where you are based on what you can see.

I've thought about that too. Then you could say the apache user can bind to port 80 and 443, the ssh user can bind to port 22, the bind user can bind to port 53, etc.

I don't. My personal position is that corporations are awful at moral judgments, and I'd vastly prefer infrastructure companies not decide who can and can't be on the Internet. I think it's imperative we solve this legally by pursuing a proper takedown of Kiwifarms, not by trying to encourage DDoSes to deal with it and then getting upset a company which prevents DDoS attacks prevented DDoS attacks.
Exactly what I arrived at, but I use the word better instead of fairer, since a regulation can do net harm without being unfair.

It annoys me when the right just wants to deregulate and the left just wants to regulate. It's ideological possession.

Implement more good regulations. Eliminate the ones that are doing more harm than good by adding too much red tape, or entrenching interests, or having too many unintended consequences.
Lifestyles haven't changed? Come now, in just my lifetime I've seen kids go from being outside everywhere playing until dark, to being mostly inside all day. And I live in a very active community!

With regards to changes in willpower, that seems like a strong assertion, got any sources on that?

100% agree that our diet (generally) has changed drastically.

But I don't get your jump of why medication has to be the solution? Maybe undoing some of the changes that got us here?

Sure, in many cases where they're already well down the road of obesity and experiencing its negative health consequences - yes medication can be useful. But that's far from the only option at hand here.
the OP should preface the abstraction bulletpoint with a caveat that the abstraction must be well formed and logical.

> was trying to do two jobs at the same time

Happened at a company I worked at many years ago. Working from home was new, one dude who we all thought was suspect anyway got a call from his bosses boss and answered the phone with the wrong company name and it was over.

To make an example of him they made him pay back some of his salary (his contract had him on call and available 24/7). Ran into him a while later and he confirmed he paid them back.

Not a fake candidate but a slimy guy.
So...build what you need. A marketplace for part-time work only...set the parameters and use seo (Google) to bring people to you. I need a part-time tech va, dev and marketing person. Not necessarily in that order and I still need to know what the prices look like, but I'm sure I'm not alone. Guilds will make a comeback...specialist who bang out jobs quickly and without a lot of back and forth...while charging for every single incidental. A Micky D's for tech work.

That depends on how SMIC's ramp goes. Right now they're shipping what amount to samples only. And even then there's no chips to fab absent more development work. Making a ML accelerator is hard. If AMD and Intel (actually Google and Tesla seem closer) can't beat NVIDIA, you really think Goodix is going to get it done?

High tech is still high tech for a reason. Sure, in the long term China is going to get there eventually. But in the intermediate decade or two, there's plenty of time for trade sanctions to work to shape markets.
Where it really mattered, the results are staggering. E.g. Star Citizen, with everything depending on its rather complex entity streaming. There, the 96MB of cache which I believe is for the 5800X3D's single CCD blows all other CPUs out of the water.
Especially if the spike protein produced by the vaccines has been modified to be more stable (pseudouridine vs uridine) and therefore more immunogenic (toxic), and is present in significantly larger (orders of magnitude larger) quantities.
> It is really quite hard to not have connections to the US economy.

I'm not sure I understand. AI startups are everywhere. It seems it would be trivial to set up a Kazakhstan AI "startup", buy a bunch, then ship them to Russia/China. Or are you saying that any non-governmental entity that would be interested in these would also be interested in the US market? And, someone friendly to the US would eventually peek in their server room and rat them out?
That would be cool. But AI isn't consistent enough for a game, right?
If you need all of those features I think the best way is to just define objects in TypeScript. You have the full power of a real and well understood language then.
I always appreciate a bit of behind the scenes info you might otherwise see, as I'm sure many on HN would.

Also with pricing, pricing transparency is a real PITA.
A perfect reminder of what a shitshow the web has become.
This type of calculated planning will be why China is the next super power.
The real problems come when you need to make the code do something else that no longer fit the abstraction and now it's either rebuild the thing or tack on some extra bit which doesn't make sense with the original design.

That is not a vaccine. No one calls corticosteroids or antibiotics vaccines yet both meet the definition of lowering the probability someone will dies from an infection. So does taking care of yourself, getting exercise, eating a healthy diet, not sitting still all day, and a large swath of other things none of which are called vaccines.
There are now geoguessr competitions, and the high level players learn to identify locations in seconds based on tiny details like utility pole designs. It’s incredible.

While there are issues with certain WKP being also privileged, this entire article ignores the fact that multi user machines still exist (and multi user Unix machines were mostly not mainframes). In such systems, having ports that are known to be administrator-only still has a use.
And this is why we need risc-v. And fortunately ARM is helping the industry realize this by doing shit like this.
It really is a great phrase. I think there's some truth to it. As someone who can be very articulate at times, the influence it lends me isn't always commensurate with my actual skill in that area. Put another way; I've found if you use enough big words and say enough clever things, people will treat you as if you're smart even on unrelated matters.
this is amazing and was months of work at my prev job to build internally. After it was built it freed up a whole dev team to do more mission critical work.
> i doubt that is actually true - the old chinese civilization is long gone. It's like saying that the american indian civilization is still here today.

Native American Indian didn't speak English, got obliterated by European settlers, their culture and their language destroyed. The American Indians have zero continuity today. They are a lost people. The Chinese was and still is the same, the Han. Despite Mongol and Japan's invasion, they still retained their culture, their buildings, their language, and their genetic make up.

> they did - and to obtain that progress, they had to open up to world trade, to become part of the international community, and to cooperate.

> It's proof that free market and international trade is not zero sum, and that all parties benefit.

I agree. Hence why they showed that a nation can become strong without forcing diversity. They just stick to their own self, their own culture, and generally absorb world's technology, research, and information. In today's free flow of information, we don't need diversity and multiculturalism.

Although, I argue that diversity and multiculturalism has zero correlation with why US is a strong nation. US is a strong nation simply because this land is abundant, rich, has a lot of river, geographically advantageous, and largely left alone when the whole world was fighting.

> But now that progress has been made, the chinese gov't seems to want to usurp more - both politically as well as economically. They desire the advances that their western trade partners enjoy, but don't desire the political freedom, and self-determination that would also come with such advances.

Yeah, I can understand why the Chinese govt want that. If I were the Chinese govt, I would think the same too. If I were an average Chinese citizen, I'd want the opposite.

> I think the US is not in a good strategic position to overcome china economically, unfortunately. The fact that the US has resorted to politically motivated bans like that is a clear sign. And china has progressed enough that i dont believe such bans will be effective at all - at most it will slow down the progress by about a couple years.

Yeah, totally agree.
> using .xlsx to hold configuration

what the?! I would imagine that .xlsx is even worse than a plain text file for holding configuration. You have to open it with a spreadsheet editor, and how would you diff a binary format when committing into source repository?

Potentially, but I think we have actually slipped down a lot of these slopes at one point or another. These negative possibilities are not just hypotheticals, they are informed by actual failures. I'm not going to argue that there aren't people defending their interests selfishly in such arrangements, - there definitely is, as well. Maybe such councils should be filled with non-affiliated neutral parties that are randomly elected?
I think this map makes very clear that there are certain regions where life expectancy is much worse than others: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ...

Others mention important things but go nowhere near as far as they should. I can list dozens of high level things you should have on that list, but I think the most important decision is at what point will you hire a dedicated career-security person? The earlier the better.

You can have protected branches, pubkey auth everywhere with yubikeys and macs everywhere it all helps reduce noise but security architecture ensures there are no cracks in your defenses. These checklist solutions can do more harm than good by leaving you with the impression that you have a better security-posture and risk appettite than you actually do leading you to make catastrophic decisions.

IT/OPs/Engineering folks who know enough security to be dangerous would say things like "but _____ defensive measure is there,that wouldn't work" or "if they got past all this then we have bigger issues anyways" and be dangerously wrong.

2FA with yubi? Cookie theft is now popular. SSH pubkey on a mac? Commodity multiplatform stealers in Rust and Golang of course are a thing and they include stealing private keys and sensitive files as a feature. MDM doesn't protect you against malware and SSO while still should be implemented makes cookie theft one working attack away from pwning all things the user has access to. Boring old things like segmentation, (good)logging and proactive monitoring (probably MSP for you at the start) are still top of the "list" and despite what pop-security personalities have you believe, not only do you need AV but you need a cross-platform good EDR as soon as possible as well as corporate VPNs and while gsuite is popular with startups, O365 has better security and DLP.

I could go on but my point is you at least need a consultant at the begining and have a solid plan on when you will hire a proper security pro to architect things and make all the devs and engineers do things they disagree with passionately leading some to even leave lol.
There are a handful of deep Git features like rebase or bisect which GitHub doesn’t expose but those aren’t things most people use frequently. Git has no equivalent for the things people do use all of the time: the issue tracking system, code review with all sorts of rules and approvals, the CI/CD system, package management for manage languages, not to mention newer features like Codespaces.

That’s a ton of features which cause people to use services like GitHub or GitLab, and it’s not like you’re giving up any of the CLI functionality to do so. My point wasn’t that these services are perfect but rather that there’s way more to it than setting up a Linux box you can push to.
It’s a funny coincidence that the field where we’re seeing the most innovation happens to be the one we regulated least, and that the fields that got worse are the most regulated ones.

As Marc Andreessen remarks, in every case, the culprit is regulation.

Ho hum. And the 5 year old AEI chart that's been bumping around awhile.

IIRC TVs are so low because they use a trick called 'hedonic averaging' where a 27 inch TV at the same cost of a 19 inch TV actually costs 1/2 as much, since you get twice as many square inches. Even though, you know, you still are only watching 1 TV at a time and looking at 100% of the screen on both. Whatevs.

For what it's worth, I think physical science education is closer to what you are describing.

I studied chemistry, and I'm not sure if it's a causal relationship, but I find I am much better at debugging (in development) and "firefighting" (in production) than my peers.

I guess my conclusion is CS students should be required to take more science classes, or, preferably, software engineer hopefuls should be pushed to study other disciplines.
