1. Write down the problem.

2. Think very hard.

3. Write down the answer.

I understand the article is genuinely trying to be helpful and I don't want to be too harsh, but it's unfortunately one of those areas where the specifics are way more important than general considerations.
Although the idea of the author focus solely on how to fit/support the card in the motherboard, and to provide an existing cooling solution, I actually find it a bit too much, this race to higher performance based on increasingly higher power requirements.

New NVIDIA cards will draw 450W, and, even if you lower that in settings, the all package will still need to be manufactured to support those 450W at various levels.

I wonder what are games doing that require that extra power, seriously. I, personally, would much prefer to slightly have to lower settings (or expect devs to take at least some basic steps to optimize their games) than have a 450W behemoth living inside my computer.

Meaning, 40xx series will be an obvious pass for me. My 1080 Ti is actually still great in almost all aspects.

Part of the problem is the belief that a 301 is the best option for SEO because it passes 'link juice'.

Evidence for this being true will always be some random blog post from a self proclaimed expert.

My default option is always a 302 for the simple fact that it isn't going to be cached and can be easily changed with no ill effects. I've yet to notice any disadvantage from an seo point of view.

I also wrote something similar for my university quizzes using Tampermonkey. I noticed that some of the questions from non-graded quizzes would later appear on graded quizzes. There weren't any IDs that I could use and the wording of the questions would usually change a bit. When taking any quiz, it would search the questions on the page against the database. It would scape the questions, do some cleaning like removing stopwords and symbols, and then do a fuzzy string search against the database. It would give a score to each match and display the top 5 best matches. Worked quite well. I would then spend the rest of the time answering the questions that it could not match.
I think this is kind of skirting around the issue. Saying that we can just focus on shifting societal norms around nudity taboos feels unrealistic. How would you envisage that happening in a timescale comparable with the development of deepfake technology?

Beyond that, there's also a host of otherwise these materials can be used for targeted harassment. Sending a woman images of "herself" in extreme sexual acts can be traumatising even if the victim knows it's a fake. There's also the rise of "what would you do with her" and "irl girls" pornography on places like Reddit where unconsenting women are targeted by stalkers who sexualize and degrade them publically for kicks. This just gives them further fuel for their obsessive fantasies.

The shift to being able to "see" arbitrary women as they'd look in certain positions or level of undress will also change how young men perceive real women in harmful ways in a society where women already have to deal with constant objectification.

In terms of inference. Firstly it's about things like lighting, skin tone, background details etc that set the scene for us on the unconscious level and which inevitably leaves the current generation of fakes somewhere in the uncanny valley. Secondly the fact that we know they're fake didn't impact the initial associations our brain will create upon seeing them. If lies were not harmful defamation cases wouldn't be a thing.

Throughput of networks is increasing but latency doesn’t improve as much (although 5G wireless is a big improvement over 4G LTE). Also TCP slow-start limits how fast an HTTP connection can go, and most are short-lived so the connection is still ramping up when it is closed. That’s one of the supposed benefits of QUIC a.k.a. HTTP/3.

And then there is bloat, the scourge of JavaScript frameworks and what passes for front-end development nowadays.
Ask HN: Has anyone self/on-prem hosted a container registry
It's always been one of those items deep down on the "to consider" list, and my rationale was that there really aren't any straight-forward solutions for this and with Gitlab and Github offering their own registries it was never a problem.

But yesterday I found out that Docker's Registry core (Distribution) [0] is OpenSource (and used by other registries too!), but I haven't seen many mentions of it until then. I've checked out their documentation and it seems solid.

So, what is your experience with self-hosting registries be it Distribution, Harbour or something else. Any hidden PITA? I myself will spin Distribution up on the dev env and see how it goes!

Show HN: An async traceroute(1) implementation in Rust
I wrote a minimal traceroute(1) clone that leans on asynchrony to reduce the time spent tracing a route. Underneath, it uses ICMP to do its job. The plan is to add support for UDP tracing and a path maximum transmission unit discovery mechanism.

Comments and suggestions are welcome!
How does Matrix route messages if you block the IP addresses of a thousand of the most important servers? There must be relaying algorithms to find the blockage and route around it, right? How do those work, how do they avoid feeding the firewall with information that can be used to extend the blockage?

Completely unrelated, but whenever I see stats like "Deepmind, an org of about 1,000 employees" and then contrast that to the amount of interesting advancements they're making, I cant help but wonder where we'd be with 100,000+ people working on these type of issues.

Kind of how most medical advancements come out of the US, which makes up only <4.25% of world population.

I know orgs dont scale like that and there are hits to productivity with orgs getting less lean but still.

There are many responses here, but I think one of the most relevant is that of natural monopolies. If you created a competitor that was somehow objectively superior to Facebook in every possible technical way, it would still almost certainly fail. Because Facebook's product isn't their software, but access to the billions of people using it. They are effectively doing little more than acting as a carrier for access to society. And you can't compete against that.

This immediately puts massive scale social media in a very unique place. By contrast, public school libraries are anything but a monopoly. If they don't offer a book you want, there are countless other ways to get it that are no less convenient, to say nothing of the digital age and searching for 'book i want pdf.' This generalizes to other scenarios as well. At one time it was believed that private businesses out be able to restrict employment or service based on things like the race or religion of their customers/applicants. But as this started to become a more substantial issue in terms of scale, society decided otherwise.
The symbol mangling ABI isn't considered stable yet. And even if it was stable, rust's struct packing is still compiler-defined.

Rust libraries can be dynamically linked if they look like a C library, or get wrapped by abi_stable[1] or something. But this isn't the standard. Probably less than 5% of the crate ecosystem is packaged like this.

And a 5% solution is nowhere near good enough. Right now, I can build any rust package on any system, no matter what dependencies it has by just running cargo build. For apt to be competitive, it'd need to pull the ~100k cargo packages into apt's repository, wrap all of them in abi_stable or some equivalent and parse Cargo.toml files into the equivalent dpkg config.

Ideally it should also work across every OS (though starting with ubuntu, debian and mint would be a start).

This is possible. But for all the hand wringing about how modern packages should use apt, nobody seems to actually care enough to make any of this happen.

> I hope we can but it's not a given and no one knows the likelihood. Bigger VC investments are finally being poured into energy but nuclear fission and fusion are not new concepts - we haven't been able to do anything with them at scale yet.

If we're willing to use uranium, we have enough energy there for a few hundred years (even if extracting it gets somewhat more expensive over time, it will take a while before the fuel becomes more expensive than hydrocarbons). And let's say we use 40/40/20 solar/uranium/other renewables, we can double that or more.

I'm pretty confident we will be able to leverage some other energy source before that time.

Well, as I mentioned in my comment, I have no interest for movie adaptations in general. I like movies (and I'm even somewhat of a film buff) but I don't think of them as a superior art form at all and I literally never hope for a movie adaptation of anything I read. In my opinion, a novel isn't enhanced or magnified or whatever when it is adapted for the screen. Quite the opposite, and I would prefer "Hollywood" to work on original ideas rather than whatever their current strategy is.

There are, of course, plenty of cases of good adaptations that can live side-by-side with the original material, Blade Runner comes to mind, but they tend to be outliers.

The movies were direct adaptations of the original material and the trailers I watched at the time were too off-base for me and I preferred my own head cannon to Peter Jackson's so I skipped the whole thing.

On the other hand, the series was sold more like an ad-lib inspired by the annexes of The Lord of the Rings, which are as fuzzy as it gets, so it was supposed to be less tied to the original story and, in theory, less off-base with my head cannon. It turned out to be even worse than the little I now know of the movies so I will stop here. Some of it certainly is pretty but, as hinted above, I tend to value stories and characters more than visuals.

In fact, the delta between my head cannon and the series is far greater than with the movies so I might as well watch them one of these days.

Written word FTW.
IMO observational studies with zero predictive power are the biggest problem. The vast majority of nutrition research that the media talks about is extremely low quality. Their conclusions depend entirely on which of many variables are controlled for.

The point is, Rust is vastly easier than C++ when you start factoring in the complexity of debugging nasty design choices that comes to bite you in the back and you can't really fix without tearing the whole application apart.

Yesterday I was fighting the borrow checker because it wasn't allowing me to pass a reference in an async function. After a while it dawned me that if that thing I was attempting to write would have been accepted, it would have caused a crash in some rare, but not impossible, circumstances.

It saved me potentially countless hours of debugging and wrapping my head around the fact that my smart abstraction crashed every once in a while, something that happens to me everyday with C++.

Rust is hard, but it's less hard than it's alternatives.
>”So are whistleblowers like Deep Throat ate people you believe shouldn't have right to report and publish material?”

That’s quite different from what I was getting at. I am pro free speech, which includes journalists like you’ve mentioned.

What I was getting at is, people can be pro “free speech” insomuch as wanting open dialogue of controversial or heretical topics while simultaneously finding some kinds of speech/actions chilling and opposing such things. And, they can do this without being considered fundamentally flawed hypocrites.

I’ll propose a hypothetical/analogy. Envision it is the 1950’s in America and I support the rights of communists to speak on college campuses. But I do not support a system to report suspected communist sympathizers to the House Un-American Activities Committee. It could be argued that I’m infringing on the speech rights of the McCarthyites. But in my mind this doesn’t mean I’m anti free speech, because I’m ultimately opposing something I believe has a chilling effect on speech.
Absolutely. Let alone salt and egg, which seem to be good or bad changing every 5 years or so :)
Tracking issue for Rust Symbol Mangling v0 (RFC 2603)
Yeah, either you orbit at a safe distance, or you get ejected and become a rogue planet.

I'm rather taken with this idea of billions of rogue planets, wandering around the Milky Way, carrying life that's billions of years old. Such a rogue might get captured by a star-system's Oort cloud, gradually drift towards the star, and eventully evince more complicated life. In fact I'm not aware of strong evidence that Earth isn't a rogue (it's about the same age as the Sun, but that's circumstantial, right?)
I don't get the point of being divisive on that. That quote is literally just describing corruption, which is present in all governments, though especially those in decline. Ideology has literally 0 relevance there. The past 2 years have had countless examples of such from people all across the political spectrum, and all across the world for that matter.

It could be fun to have a conversation about this topic, but when you start with calling the opinions of others a "deliberate misunderstanding", you've poisoned the well.

Well done, and nice of you guys to take it down too.

I remember having some fun in high school when windows XP was the thing and handing out software at school was done using USB memory sticks. I wrote a small program just to mess with classmates that copyed itself to the machine when the memory stick was inserted and set itself to run at startup. It also copyed itself to any USB storage that was connected to the machine.

The program didn't do anything other than connect to a server so I could add it to a database along with some basic info, just so I could mess with the right person. It was fun when a USB stick was passed around, and I was the first to get it. So I got access to the the laptops of all my classmates and could mess around with them.

The problem was that it spread like wildfire, and in just a couple of weeks there was thousands of machines and it was spreading exponentially, with no way for me to stop it. That's when I realized that it might have been a stupid idea and that I should probably remove any traces of my involvement.

Besides industry pushes, I think it's also due to the combination of bad incentives in academia/journalism.

1. This kind of research is difficult to execute because there are too many confounding variables. You can never get clear isolatable results. There is no such thing as "good" and "bad" that applies to a large population in all contexts. This may sound like a drawback, but in a way this is great for researchers because it creates an infinite amount of studies you can run and publish, and nobody can ever tell you that you're wrong, because there is no clear answer. You'll never be out of work. If industry tells you "we need a study that shows X" there's almost certainly a way to design a study in such a way to get result X.

2. Research must be published. No matter what your results or experimental assumptions and constraints are, as a researcher you must "sell" [0] your research and present it in the best light. That's what your career is all about. Citations. Similarly, as a reporter you must write articles that attract views, so you must sensationalize research, even if the original publication was clear about its shortcomings. These perverse incentives create vicious cycles, not just in nutrition.

To complement what you say, you also have to consider that there are an absolute myriad of processes, people and companies within the audiovisual industry where the Dolby workflow is almost inseparable from what they do and what they work with. People and companies that have made investments, sometimes of many zeros and many hours, to be able to work this way.

Dolby is more than a standard or spitting six channels of raw audio out of speakers. That's just the end product, because it's not just standard itself.

It is, for example, the hardware that is in cinemas and home theaters (encoders, decoders, Dolby RMU...), the certification processes that Dolby does in cinemas and recording and mixing studios, the mixing technicians who work with all that and send the final mixes with the netflix/hbo/whatever specifications, vendors, integration partners, speaker manufacturers...

There are also plugins that work in DAWs like Pro Tools, the ecosystem (Dolby Atmos Renderer, Dolby Atmos Production Suite), just to scratch the surface.

One thing is to publish a standard and another the ecosystem around that standard. It is interesting that there are new standards, but given Google's history with its long term attention span I have my doubts that this will materialize into anything more than an internal asset for google.

> how do they avoid feeding the firewall with information that can be used to extend the blockage?

I'm not sure if this is solvable. How would a network tell the difference between an iranian citizen and an iranian police? If you allow iranian citizens to connect to some IP address, how would you prevent iranian police from connecting the same way, and then adding the IP to the blocklist?

The best solution I can think of right now is for major tech companies (like Google, Microsoft, Apple) to host Matrix servers of their own, on their IPs. This way if the iranian police block those IPs, the country also loses access to these major internet services, which will shut off communication with the rest of the world and cripple their technological development (like North Korea).

One odd aspect is that all these 'recommendations' adopted en masse (low salt, low cholesterol, low fat) are based on the goal of avoiding heart problems. I guess it makes sense as a goal but not sure it makes sense to go in reverse from that goal, using very unsound studies, to come up with these restrictive rules of thumb for everyone... like oh, just reduce the salt in this meal and you'll be okay. Indeed such approaches can be described as superstition.
