I think that's why the most prestige for top universities is ascribed to those in the undergrad.

> MSc in Software Engineering

I think "Software engineering" degrees tend to be a strong signal: didn't study CS.
Apple made a fairly big deal of the fact that the G5 processor, when they started putting it into their machines (or maybe it was when they went to dual G5s?), had just recently stopped being export-controlled by virtue of being classified as a "supercomputer".

(What really happened was that the Feds revised the definition of "supercomputer", and suddenly the G5 configuration they were using didn't qualify anymore... it had nothing to do with anything Apple did, except perhaps lobbying for it so they could build computers in China.)
It’s the irony and optics of it. Doesn’t matter how far off in the future it is, you’re pressing a direction in one breath and then in the next breath, giving the opponent’s of that direction a nice little “see, I told you so” moment.
Not sure how this is would be so different from how we treat forms of speech such as pergury, libel, and treason.
This is true. There are also, though, other environmental factors that make it harder to maintain healthy weight in postindustrial countries than it was in the past, even if you eat no processed foods, cap your calories and work out regularly. Pharmaceutical and industrial waste in the water supply, Roundup in the grain supply, pesticides, hormones in the meat. Personally I'm swayed by the argument that these are at the root of other issues too, like gluten intolerance.

I'm all for encouraging people to eat healthier but some of this is beyond what an average person can control unless you grow your own food and drink from your own well.

I guess you'd want a young guy for this sort of role, but I can't think of anyone like Clooney nowadays.

The way he just sort of automatically exudes gravitas makes him surprisingly effective in comedy I think. Because comedy requires surprises, and even when he's playing a goofy character it is still somehow surprising when he does something silly.
Low uptake countries maybe have worse medical systems and younger populations, so you'd some controls for that.
This is mentioned in the article, and while it is a factor, the fear of being photographed would be much lower if it wasn't associated with those photo's being posted online for any future personal associate to see.
I've seen other Stable Diffusion examples where it starts with a low quality image and a prompt, and makes a higher-quality version.

I'd be really interested to see this work extended with something that transmits (say) a 64x64 pixel copy of the original image and uses it as source material for Stable Diffusion to work on.

Depending on the parameters it might be a legitimately viable image compression algorithm, at least for some types of images.
This technique needs to be adopted everywhere immediately. With infinite gains over jpeg, how could we delay?

The commentary gave me a good chuckle, but I was actually pretty impressed with some of the results. I wonder if using stock images is playing to the strength of the model, because they may have actually been part of training.
But nation states have never been restricted by export bans. For example the US during the Cold War bought titanium for the SR71 from the Soviet Union. And Russia is buying chips on the black market today for its invasion of Ukraine.

I would suggest this speaks to the weight of your experiences coloring your view. It doesn't have to be this way, though, yours are just one set of lived experiences, and the systems you live in are not necessarily objectively the best ones.

The issue you're discussing is that aesthetic objections are being used as a hard roadblock to progress. This suggests that aesthetic input needs to be received without them being an opportunity to derail a project if the projects is passing all other measures it has been evaluated on. It could be said that such input should have achievable criteria for success/passability without being significantly at odds with the premise of the exercise.

Anyway, I would encourage you to make a new submission about it as this is a pressing and heated american issue, and it's clear that you feel strongly on the matter.
my understanding from Reddit is that most of the people on nude beaches are overweight and old (of course Reddit isn’t really a good source, but I believe them here)

It’s actually kind of the opposite: attractive women are less likely to be on nude beaches because they may get harassed by creepy men.
From what I’ve observed, even with free gym and advice, most of people will still ignore it. It’s simply not convenient, especially for people who haven’t gotten into a routine.

I live in an extremely walkable neighbourhood of a fairly dense city, and honestly speaking, and just walking around to do my daily chores already helps with casual fitness. I do bike, swim and lift, but mostly for “fun” rather than for health. And before consistently working out, I weighed constant amount (+-4 pounds change depended on the season). Honestly, I want to blame the epidemic on cars and the convenience it brings to everyone.
"Ugh. Nude beaches are full of overweight, out-of-shape old bodies and I don't want to go there and realize I look exactly like that."

> It just pushes us further into the realm of no software ownership

This is why I included the statement "our your console/PC at home" as well, for those who want to own the software but still want to stream. The software running remotely can still be on a machine you own running software you own.

I often have a cheap laptop with me. It's trash for gaming but gets great battery life and is lightweight. Paired with my 5G phone or a decent internet connection, I can connect to my large gaming PC at home and stream any game I can play on that anywhere I go.

I was recently on a trip 1,000 miles from home. I could stream my games with very little noticeable lag on the hotel's WiFi. Pings to home were ~40ms.
It is sucky that Snap didn't offer to hand it back to the original authors, or open-source it. If nothing else it shows contempt for the users.

Of course Google remains king in the contempt-for-users puddle.
Unions are not limited at all. It's just that they don't get the special privilege of having a multi-work-unit vote recognized as binding on their employer. The government mandates on employers are only imposed as a consequence of single-work-unit votes.

Evaluating union options as only those where they can exercise the power to restrict a company's contract freedom is very misleading.

>>In a contest over the revenues of the enterprise between those who have only their labor to sell and those who have an excess of capital, I know where I stand.

Of course the employer will have more control over the revenues of the enterprise that they own. If it was otherwise it would imply the state transferred ownership of the company's assets to the union.

The disparity is in the ability to freely negotiate and exercise contract liberty. The unions have it, and employers do not.

When a work unit votes to collectively bargain, the company loses a significant amount of contract liberty, and their only option - if they want to completely disassociate from the workers within that work unit - to close that site altogether.

The blender thing was just as an example. Of course it would be possible to convert whatever the output of the model is, to whatever software you want to plug it in.
I'm sorry if you missed the last two years where this topic has been discussed at length on HN. Now, two years later, there has been enough time for data collection and structured analysis, so there's less need for real-time hot takes and we now have both hindsight and papers. If you're looking for opinion rather than papers, the HN comment archive will be happy to provide.
This is not even the most famous case of such practice in China, which goes to He Zhili [1].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Zhili

The gist is that she was ordered to lose in one World Table Tennis Championships, but refused and proceeded to be the champion.

Later she wasn't selected for the next Olympic, which she felt was the punishment for her disobedience. She later immigrated to Japan and played for their national team and gave China some trouble for a while.

There is also this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton_at_the_2012_Summer_O...

The funny thing is, they do that in table tennis (actually also badminton in some other cases other than the one in the article) not even just to secure the gold medal: since China is/was so dominant in this sport, they sometimes do it to ensure certain player can get his/her "grand slam" [2] (to win all the major tournaments in their career).

A majority of the viewers on youtube are prone to clicking on videos of faces that look surprised, and a majority of youtube viewers also happen to be children where this effect is seen in real life as well.

It's a formula that gets you more views for no change in the actual content.
I'm confused as to how the ban of exports to China is justifiable. Is this ban not some form of aggression? I can't see how the ban will achieve it's aims of "limiting" China nor do I see why it's acceptable for the US to do this.
The comment I replied to is saying that without access to this specific CPU, they can still compete. That's tangential to whether or not they could get their hands on it anyways.
Waiting for them to punish the doctors and the CDC who claimed that masks were ineffective at the start of the pandemic, which contributed to thousands of deaths.

The CDC's lies were some of the worst disinformation (they knowingly lied) of the entire pandemic.

Let's not forget the WHO, who repeatedly claimed COVID was not airborne, caused thousands of deaths through negligence.

Or there's the doctors who wrongly claimed the vaccines prevent transmission of COVID.
It's bizarre because nobody believes that when it comes to anything else.

Take any crime, such as murder. It is impossible to ban and punish murder perfectly fairly. Some inconsistencies and unfairness is guaranteed. That doesn't mean we should stop enforcing all criminal sentencing just because it's not perfectly fair.

You bring up the social consequences of perceived unfairness and the Streisand effect. These are social psychology arguments which you've previously said you're not looking at. Well it's good that you're taking social psychology seriously because that's the focal point of this, and I refer back to the previous things I've said on that.
I am also confused.

I understand in times of war or conflict, but this seems like deliberate economic sabotage.
You should definitely share some of the highlights of your boredom list. I’m always looking for more fun little things that the internet has to offer.

Someday in the future, we can post them to whatever forum type dealio is in vogue and reminisce about the good ole days when the web was open and free lol
EUV technology was proven possible in the 80s. However to make it happen and comercialize took the West a few decades.
I definitely think that the wake left by crypto steaming by and then striking multiple successive icebergs demonstrates that regulation is crucial and that unregulated fields with potential profits very quickly become a hell dominated by huge corporations who start to dictate the terms of the field.
I definitely think some things are objectively good or bad, I just don't think me or you or any individual is qualified to adjudicate that for all of society. That's what the law is for.
You don't have to enable SSO everywhere. There are things we still don't SSO (looking at you, StatusPage) because the price hit is huge and unjustifiable. But I'm less sanguine about not having SSO at all.

I guess I'd add that almost anything goes pre-PMF. I think it's actually pretty reasonable to consciously minimize security engineering spending before you've got a real product locked down.
Has there been anything published yet as to whether this holds true controlling for which strain of covid one is reinfected with, or whether one is vaccinated? I know at least one vaccinated person who's been reinfected with no symptoms at all the second time, and only knew because they had to get tested.
Yes. Flu. Constant (yearly) reinfection by slightly different variants with near-similar mortality regardless of previous variant exposure.
Thanks for your reply! This looks interesting, but I see a lot of manual work involved in it. Is there any automation tool that you're aware of? Also on Instagram or elsewhere do people create any media or quotes from blog as a post and share that?

Good games exist, but they are few and far between, like most good things.

For instance, I see Monument Valley (both 1 and 2) as a true masterpiece. Of course, it has no loot boxes, no online play, and no competitive multiplayer mode.
I’m not seeing the ship. Can someone post its name and maybe I’d number?

“without access to Western equipment and technologies” is not accurate. I believe it’s ASML’s DUV machines behind the achievement

I think excess mortality by its nature accounts for this. And you can compare similar age groups.
Poor health is extremely profitable in the US. From the food industry to healthcare. Drug addiction is profitable. There's little incentive to do much about it at a public level.
> 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.

Well. This is insinuating that more regulation reduced innovation. But it's confusing correlation with causation. The things that are the most regulated are also the ones with failure is more costly. So maybe _that_ is the reason why innovation is worse there.

Dictatorship of the articulate indeed.
The Ever Given was stranded not because of depth, but because it got caught by strong winds, plowing the front into the side of the canal.

There's a simpler explanation that the Ever Given was a rare event that primed news to be more interested in more minor blockages. When the Suez Canal was blocked in 2021, the news story had days to escalate as the number of ships waiting increased and the impact on global shipping became important.

In contrast, this blockage was over in ~6 hours and would have never been a top of HN news story if not for journalists and viewers being interested in the blockage happening again.
Badminton (at least at the 2020 Olympics) uses a round robin format[1] followed by QF/SF/Final.

That + kingmaking potential
Denying the Chinese access to American-designed parts broadens the competitive landscape, by forcing them to compete not just on supply chain, integration, and software, but also on chip design, in order to maintain parity in a key technology area.

This is advantageous to the US, or at least it's not as obviously disadvantageous as national competition centered on, say, manufacturing.

The US is never going to compete seriously with China on bulk/commodity manufacturing. But I think that there is a sense that we might have more of a shot competing in very advanced manufacturing (actual die fabrication; the manufacturing of high-end machinery and tooling for such; etc.) and in microprocessor design. Thus it makes sense to try to deny to China the fruits of those industries.

I would assume that the machinery used in high-end fabrication is probably a logical next step, if it's not export-controlled for one reason or another already. (If it's not, some arm-twisting might be required to get the Europeans to play ball, since I think a lot of that stuff is also made in, or made with significant submodules from, the EU.)
Require disk encryption and screen lock.
Deploy SSO everywhere you can.
Provide a password manager.
No passwords in slack. If they show up they have to be rotated immediately.
Create a simple security policy (and password policy) to let people know expectations.
Create an onboarding and off boarding checklist.
Create a BYOD policy (if people choose to have work coms on their phone)
Require phone password, encryption and find my device.
Prohibit password reuse.
Buy people yubikes if they want em.
Encourage 2fa
Rotate credentials at most annually.
Create a culture of blameless postmortems so people feel comfortable raising concerns early.
Set up your cloud accounts with SSO.
Secure your CI/CD system. It usually has the keys to the castle.
Deploy or enable cred-scan, dep-scan, sast-scan in CI/CD
Don’t allow public items in S3 buckets unless the bucket is explicitly public.
This is fascism at its finest. I can't believe I live in this state, it disgusts me. I'm fully vaccinated with boosters, as is my whole family. The idea that the state would define and criminalize what "false" information is is absolutely disgusting.

I think politicians should be "held accountable" for every piece of legislation that gets repealed because it is unconstitutional. They should either go to jail or have their salaries clawed back when they waste time and money crafting useless, unconstitutional laws. Is this something we can submit for a proposition?
Well he did go to a great school and get great grades.
For people having doubts regarding Taiwan's semiconductor industry, I present you a case in point: Ukraine's grain and other sectors. The only way to stop industry is militarily. Considering the expectation for US to step in and prevent the blockade, I doubt we'll see a full stop, even if disruptions will be felt worldwide.

Overall, when thinking about potential war, I think my country is a much better example to rationalize what might happen when compared to situations like ex-Yugoslavia scenario. This isn't meant to say it's not bad here, in Ukraine, because it absolutely is, and some places like Mariupol were hell (up to 100k civilian casualties, I pray for their souls).

However, globally speaking, you can extrapolate the events to the capacity of each country to be self-sufficient when it comes to the basics like food, energy and some manufacturing. So yeah, while the war with China would be a terrible development, US has a lot of resiliency and ability to produce everything domestically, even if it means that inefficient companies and bloated bureaucracy will have to go (maybe favor subsidizing STEM degrees over cancelling student debt for people majoring in gender studies?).

Keep in mind that complex organizations at some point start to survive not because of the complexity of their procedures but in spite of them. So when crisis happens, provided the organization is resilient enough and adapts through pain, the outcome is not as bad as it seems.
Ah, yes, I can imagine in such a customer service interaction the one being paid to do it all the time may not mind it lasting as long, or at least there may be a discrepancy in preference.

I've been texting with someone over Whatsapp and she seems to treat it more like email: no read indicators, no set response time (sometimes minutes, days, or weeks), longer responses when she does. It can be so hard for me as I associate WhatsApp and texting with relatively real-time chat and the differences in expectations have caused conflict between us quite a few times.
I have a question for you. Do you know that, or why, China stopped submitting new entries to the Top500, while numerous sources are claiming China brought online exascale computers with custom architectures?

Mining chips don't just simply pay for themselves. If it was cheaper to get the chips fabbed at Samsung or TSMC at any other lithography they'd be fabbed there. The company that made the miners isn't even Chinese. That it was fabbed there means that not only was there yield leftover from whatever state project was required, it was also commercially competitive.
You're basically lawyering the site guidelines against the person who wrote and maintains the site guidelines (not me; I'm just paraphrasing them). That's neither interesting or productive. Dan has explained over and over again, in great detail, why tendentious meta-debates are toxic to the project HN is trying to run. You are, of course, welcome not to participate in that project! But trying to convince me that the project is something other than what Dan says it is seems silly. Not to put too fine a point on it: I don't care what you think the project is, and I deeply care what Dan thinks it is.
As a former technical writer for a major health insurance company, I can attest to this. After writing hundreds of massive documents, guides, tutorials, call scripts, policies and the like, I still had only a tenuous understanding of all the complex bullshit I was writing about.

For that specific industry, the convoluted and needlessly complex garbage is absolutely by design, but it’s a similar concept, I think.
I'm sad to hear that the courts sided with the exchange.

What's the statute of limitations on noticing a typo in your account?
Relax. I think the parent was being funny/sarcastic.
> There was no addressing the actual issue in this statement. If you're arguing an issue falls under free speech, then the response of "OK, but it's really bad" doesn't change the free-ness of the speech.

There are no rights that are absolute. You can have a right of free speech and still not be allowed to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre.

Additionally, being an expert comes with some responsibility. You are given trust due to your station, abusing that trust should be punished.
In the article Camilla Martin says she could beat Ye Zhaoying but couldn't beat Gong Zhichao:

> But if you ignore the deeply unethical way of doing things, China was actually acting rather wisely. I could never beat Gong Zhichao, and I much preferred playing against Ye Zhaoying. There's no doubt that the Chinese knew this, and that they had a much better chance of winning gold by getting Gong Zhichao into the final.
You do not have to share the same politics, and, moreover, you don't even know what his politics are. How I know that is, I don't even know what his politics are, and I've talked to him a bunch and am a little unhealthily curious about them.

I don't watch football at all, but fifa world cup and champions league are the ones everybody around me watches, from friends to random people, to our cities being half-empty (except the bars with TVs) during final matches.
