Sadly no, would have loved to, but had to go through the server host which makes sense as they are the direct customer (albeit maybe not as well invested in the specifics or diligent). I've used MT with 2 different server hosts (one an early partner of yours that moved to Path, and more recently one that still uses MT). Early days, MT had a few leaks (IoT device attacks), which I'm happy to say seems to be patched up so kudos to your team. This intermittent random UDP issue is more recent while I was trying the second host, but couldn't notice a pattern or replicate, so I ended up rolling my own with tc, port knocking, and the largest pipe we could find.

Edit: For others, our problem was probably an edge case, and our use is probably not common. MT seems good compared to the alternative solutions I know so looking forward for an opp to try this if I have ever a need.
Mexico will be fine as well.

North America is in a pretty good place compared to the rest of the world when it comes to energy/food/labor demographics.

China is, unfortunately, a long way from the competent leadership of Hu Jintao and the other previous post-Mao leaders. Unlike the previous leaders (primarily selected on merit), who WANTED to prevent another Mao-like cult of personality, Xi is a deeply-insecure man whose rise was entirely built on family connections. He has fostered a cult of personality while simultaneously using the cover of anti-corruption stings to remove all of his CCP rivals, or anyone critical of him.

The result is a huge departure from the previously competent CCP decisions. The current CCP is carrying out foolish, self-destructive, and non-sensical policies that can only make sense in the context of local decision makers desperate to please Xi. Xi is the ultimate centralizer of all decisions, having knee-capped the previous CCP policies of pushing decision making to local officials as much as possible. It's a real nightmare, and has resulted in China having an image of a shining (although somewhat authoritarian) city on a hill to a weird techno-dystopia with people starving in their apartments under absurdly stupid "Zero Covid" lockdown policies because the CCP can't admit the SinoVax is a complete failure.
You are probably right. Also I suspect the choice to whitelist or not can be hard to agree on. Maybe block all advertising things. Maybe only some of it. Maybe allow everything that isn't straight up malicious. And so on.
New Camera System Makes No Sense –Do Not Switch
A sweeping review?!?! Americans have been targeted and impacted by government-funded propaganda. They have been caught up in the fake drama and emotionally manipulated in ways that may impact them for the rest of their lives. It is time that they do a truth and reconciliation and start talking about money available to victims.
The neat thing about games is that they cover such a broad spectrum of experiences, from what you hold as good to what you casually dismiss (visual novels, walking sims, etc). I agree with you though—even if the biggest triple A game of the month doesn't appeal, there are countless other games out there that fly under the radar and are startlingly good. Unfortunately there are also countless games out there that are startlingly bad. The hard part is figuring out which ones are which :-).
Thank you! Do with it whatever you like. :)
To add on this: I specifically avoided using him (or other living artists) in the prompts for this post since that's been a hot issue lately: https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/09/16/1059598/this-art...

I did test it though, which resulted in...this: https://twitter.com/minimaxir/status/1571520043737042946
No, that's what BYU claimed.

The athlete, and her teammates, and her coaches, said that the fan was making racist comments the entire game.

NPR merely reported BYU's findings. Apparently it's not politically correct to call out Mormons on their homophobia or racism, so the Duke team's experience was left out of the NPR coverage.
I have it disabled by default, but just about every time a website doesn't function without it, I reenable it.

The exception has been some clickbait-y/social media sites that I wish I spent less time on anyway, e.g. Facebook. The fact that they don't work is a nice reminder of what I don't like about them in the first place :)

>Isn't Chromium completely open source?

No, especially not if you want to watch videos, the DRM plugin is a binary blob that only Google approved browsers get to run.

Then there are all the Google services that will break in unexpected ways in your browser, sometimes just because your user agent isn't identical to Chromes if past reports from Firefox users are any indication. Basically expect to be shit on by the biggest internet giant around at ever possible corner.
All the trinkets that could be offshored were done already. What the US manufactures now is high-end (chips) or protected by tariffs (cars). A lot of virtual stuff like software and call centers. I think we've hollowed out so much there isn't really much left to offshore.
To simplify a bit, you get two options.

Move A.

Move B.

From the best knowledge we have from our best engines, A is the better move (though I don't think we have formally proven such yet).

But if you play A, you are playing your opponent in a game of memorization.

If you play B, your opponent loses any memorization advantage. Thus they must play based on ability other than memorizing responses.

For a player whose memorization ability is equal or worse than their ability to play based on other ability, choosing move B is clearly the worse option. But if the player is one whose memorization is better than their other abilities at chess, then playing B means fighting them in an area they are worse at. The advantage of this can easily outweigh the disadvantage of move B compared to A in general.

Imagine a military commander choosing an engagement over terrain more familiar to their side even though it is a worse engagement if both sides had equal knowledge of the terrain, because the terrain knowledge more than compensates for the negatives.
I know the US 24h record holder, Nick Coury from around the PHX trailrunning scene. He ran 173 miles in 24h on a track last year. Talking to him, it's all about meticulous training -- he's an engineer by background, so he basically measured and tweaked every variable, one at a time, until he found things that worked. Still, these runs are won and lost on efficiency -- to stay that focused for so long seems... uhhh... difficult.

This is truly amazing.

Comment from one of the creators;

This build does NOT run in real time. It runs on MCHPRS, the server developed by StackDoubleFlow, which speeds up the game roughly 10-20,000x while running redstone. That brings the framerate to a much more reasonable 0.1fps, so the long timelapses in the video only took 9 hours to record in in total.
Huberman must be one of those guys who experience the runner's high - I can't say I ever have, so podcasts and running is about getting back to normal rather than multiplying the happy.
There is currently a series of poker AI's with game theory optimal solutions to bluff frequencies, bet frequencies, and bet sizing. These strategies are shown to do no worse than break even over a large number of hands.

Winning consistently today relies on being as close as you can to this "game-theory optimal" strategy. As skill gaps decrease chance certainly plays a larger role, but AI analysis of poker has indicated that there are ways to improve your odds and gain an edge.

I bought the rust book because it looked nice. But it's annoying lugging around a huge book when trying to squeeze it in during work.
The problem with core inflation is that it is a lagging indicator. Rent especially. If a landlord increases the rent on Jan 1 but your contract rolls over on Dec 1 that increase shows up in the December numbers.

And yes gas has already fallen 10% in September. From $4.087 in August to $3.677 today.
Yeah but Apple has probably found that on average the insurance isn't worth buying, otherwise they wouldn't offer it at this price. I guess it's worth buying if you know you're gonna break your phone even more frequently than the average AppleCare+ user does (which is likely more than the average iPhone user), but those $30 fees and the waiting time to repair a phone aren't free.
I'm getting the impression that this is only "obvious" from a latin-cyrillic-greek alphabet point of view ?

P.S.: Also, even for those, it would seem that one of the big reasons for things like combining characters was added to Unicode in order to be backwards compatible even with mutually incompatible encodings ?
Disingenuous BS. Since when are political rallies doubling up as evangelical revivals, and why? If I wanted to live in a theocracy I would move to Iran.

I don't care for this Tristan Snell person, an obvious political shill. But your protestations ring hollow. The psychological manipulation in this example and a recent Trump rally at Youngstown, Ohio (music playing over the speech, similar coordinated gestures of religiosity in the audience) are screamingly obvious.
go do it then
I don't think indie devs are in for the money. That ship sailed a decade ago (90's were the shareware era, 00's were the indie devs era).
Further, subterfuge, misdirection, and psychological techniques have always been a part of high-level competition, as listeners to the 1984 musical "Chess" can attest. (Yeah, the ref is listing actual rules in that one song.)
4k doesn’t have a precise pixel count. If you’re bringing precision into the picture then the reality is 4k is a family of resolutions around 4000 pixels wide. UHD has a precise defined size.

Thank you! I really appreciate the effort and thought that went into this response. Great job!
Web browsers could be given super special access or some other suitable sandbox. We know how to do it, even if it comes with some tradeoffs.

Communism is a thought experiment about how people might organize if we ever achieved post-scarcity. We haven't yet figured out how to achieve post-scarcity. We have absolutely no idea how to do it, if it is possible at all.

Quite different.

> and had no idea the government gave me that money you would have no idea and remain unaffected.

Except we do have an idea not just from the news/knowledge, but also from the fact that taxes fund this scenario.

One gets their tax money (plus some) back. Another pays taxes, but gets none back.
The 15psi that the connector was tested at is a good ways below the typical working pressures of most hydraulic systems, I'd be curious to see just how high the connector could manage.
My conditioning is also very uneven. Running would be trivial (I ran a half marathon at 7:55 min/mile a couple of days ago), I could also manage sit-ups just fine, would fail on push-ups (but not by much) but can't even do a single pull-up.
4min/km = 6:27/mile roughly, I think? If I did the math correctly?
It's why I said "mostly."

Because most of them are going to work well into their 70s.

for me it isnt the code, so much as what the code is manipulating.

having a firm grasp on the standards and specifications of any given file structure is indispensible. same goes with CPU , storage controllers and memory

when you know these things about hardware, then you have opportunity to see why code must obey certain majik rules.
This happens across many competitive games, where you can raise your Elo/MMR by playing gimmicky stuff instead of working on fundamentals. E.g. ling rush in Starcraft, 1-tricking in League, etc etc.

Sure you can score based on flexibility, but the people who work hard on staying competitive knows at heart all ratings are just an approximation anyways. Just work on fundamentals, get good, and don't sweat the numbers. Not a problem worth fixing imo.
This type of decision has fully cemented that Google is an advertising company. Every decision they make is to benefit advertisers regardless of how it affects users and developers.
> In a mall, in California, you absolutely can moderate speech. [...] As you need to be able to, as people can be disruptive.

We're talking about people not being disruptive but the owner simply not liking their opinions. In these examples the people are speaking nicely, not yelling, not waving signs, not blocking other shoppers, etc.

> And your examples about Biden and Wuhan are red herrings and have nothing to do with this conversation.

These stories and even private discussions about them were censored despite not being harmful or even incorrect, merely because they might support the opinion of a MAGA voter.

That's exactly the issue here - non-harmful speech that someone else feels must be stopped.
No, I do not believe engineer founders have problems getting hired. They are "experienced" and "know the ropes". Startups rarely fail because of a boffo in engineering.
I find that O'Reilly Online (use to be called Safari Books Online) is a great value. It’s a subscription instead of one time. But gives you access to their comprehensive technical library.
They are one of the most profitable companies in the world.. basically the opposite of a non-profit, and they do generally act like it. It's not unexpected, but it isn't good for me as a consumer.
Yes, I have JS blocked everywhere with ublock - some sites get a pass (the 2 sites I use most frequently).

For times when I need to use a JS function (like twitter / HN search), I enable it temporarily.
If Sonic the Hedgehog was specifically excluded from the dataset, DALL-E 2 has no way to know the hedgehog should be blue. Instead, I think it's interpreting "a portrait of Sonic the Hedgehog" as a hedgehog that happens to have a name, and almost all hedgehogs, regardless of their name, are the same color.

Even if someone had added a blue realistic-looking hedgehog to the dataset, if they referenced Sonic their image would have been deny-listed. So the only way to get there is to add the adjectives one is looking for, such as `a portrait of a blue hedgehog wearing red sneakers and eating a chili dog`... And, indeed, when I try that prompt, I definitely get some Sonic-alikes.
Exactly. There are plenty of other precious metals that could have been used for the same purposes as gold (e.g., platinum, palladium, iridium). But they aren't. For various historical reasons.
Visual regression tests rock! Be sure to ping me (@divdev_ on twitter) when you will be doing that - would be very eager to pair with you on this and help you set everything up!
Which gives the lie to all the sanctimonious talk about protecting all speech that's legal under the First Amendment.

MIT isn't protecting all legal speech, they're amplifying speech the MIT community wants to hear, and suppressing speech the community doesn't want to hear.

If the MIT community wants to legitimize and amplify speech about perpetuating the current hierarchy of elites, and suppress protest speech aiming to open up and overturn that hierarchy, it's up to the community.

It has nothing to do with the First Amendment.

Contrary to all the feel-good language about platforming nonconformity, the goal is not to provide an equal platform to all viewpoints, because that would be ridiculous.
Extremely positive reviews so far from the reviewers I trust the most. I will be buying.
Haha, well, it was definitely a real program someone wrote!
You did some calculation error, the requirement for rangers is 5 min/km or a 50 minute 10k (compared to your 70 minute one). Not that hard to do but requires one to be in decent shape.
This is a fantastic explanation.
Why not? If the data is zeroed, there wouldn't be anything to find by forensics.
This is clever but truly content based change detection in make would seriously fix a bunch of issues. I'm sort of surprised it hasn't been done already.
The game theoretic concept of bluffing is actually a little more nuanced than that. Bluffing is specifically moves that are +EV if your opponent thinks they are not bluffs, and force your opponent into making -EV moves to call your bluffs.

So you're taking a game where your opponent has the upper hand, and you're playing highly suboptimal moves with the intent of putting your opponent in a position where they have to pick between a rock and a hard place:

- either they have to sit quietly and knowingly take your straight-up lies, or

- they are forced to play suboptimal moves themselves to call your bluffs.
The U.S. has been doing this with VOA for almost a century. This is basically the same tactics, but in a new information space. The main point is marketing and propagation of ideology to render it competitive. The vehicles and the methods are incidental, and depend on info consumption preferences, really.
> As engines became widespread, the game shifted. *Elite chess has always involved rote learning*, but “the amount of stuff you need to prepare, the amount of stuff you need to remember, has just exploded,” Sadler said. Engines can calculate positions far more accurately and rapidly than humans, so there’s more material to be studied than ever before. What once seemed magical became calculable; where one could rely on intuition came to require rigorous memorization and training with a machine.
Maybe these people don't feel the need uphold their part of the unwritten contract with society, because society hasn't uphold their side during their life. Generally such problems are much rarer in societies where the divide between rich and poor is smaller, where you have free access to healthcare and psychological treatment and where you have some form of social security that keeps you off the street.

What you phrase here are the consequences of the form of society you are living in. The question now is, do you want to solve the root causes of these issues or do you want to paint over them following the motto "out of sight, out of mind".

I mean maybe it is my European arrogance, but to me it is pretty damn obvious that a lot of the things that make parts of the US this dystopic place are a direct result of the lack of social cohesion. Helping total strangers out with my tax money is not something I just do because it is the right thing to do, I also do it because living in a nicer society feels better than living in one where one quarter is desperately fighting for survival while another quarter has basically already given up.
Basically all of history was powerful people lying to everyone and mass media helping them do it.

For some reason people think the world is different today.
Not sure I agree with that in practice, but maybe my understanding of history is flawed.

Was the humanity better off during the Bi-polar era of the Cold War, with continuously escalating nuclear threats and proxy wars vs 1991-2010? What about the multi-polar world of 1919-1938?
Nah, I use a browser to get shit done. If I want javascript disabled, I don't open a browser.
If you want the flash experience, go with Flutter. Excellent for Mobile Dev. Awful for Web Dev.
Of course not. That's what every employer is looking for.

But to use the term "grit" or "gritty" is far too ambiguous. It means very different things to different people. My assumption would not be that they mean what you say, because that's the default expectations for any job. My assumption would be that they're trying to say something fairly unique and special, but the vagueness of the term means that it's up to me to try to read the tea leaves to figure out what they're actually looking for.

My experience in the industry tells me that what they're probably looking for is someone willing to put up with a terrible working environment.

Great book.

I used to work in the Pentagon, and while we never took Zeihan's talks without a grain of salt, directionally he tends to be very accurate. Nations like China which lack a culture of immigration have extremely predictable demographic booms and busts, and Zeihan is spot on with those. He also hits on the reality of how dependent most nations, especially China, are on imports that pass through oceanic shipping lanes they have no ability to control or secure without the US Navy.
AppleCare has always been a loss for Apple. The entire repair division is a loss for them. They don't make a profit from repairs. This update is partially marketing spin but, for a lot of users, it was worth buying before and is now even more of a value. If you look at the things that Apple prioritizes, they want to disincentivize self-repair because any quality variations reflect on them whether they did the repair or not.
I have come to doubt that they misunderstand, but rather they choose to misrepresent. To lie.

Why people want to lie about an existential threat to civilization is another matter. We know that many who do, via millions of sock puppet accounts on twitter and fb, are paid to do it, but that only defers the question to whoever is paying them. Surely the corporations paying them do not expect to benefit from worldwide collapse.

But I doubt many are paid to sock-puppet HN.
Does your extension work on Firefox? If yes, have you considered explaining the situation to your users to encourage them to move to Firefox?
I mean, if the DRM wasn't a blob it would be open source. Andnif it were open source it wouldn't be DRM...
It’s exactly my point that everyone has to make their own decision based on their risk profile. It’s far from a clear case that AC+ always makes sense.
I use RES and uBO and it’s serviceable.
We emulate a Linux system indeed
Again though, they are already sandbox frameworks for the desktop for native apps. There is not a need to have the web browser, a notoriously anti-privacy component, as a DRM player for non-DRM content.
I used to do this, but realized after a while I had to click the button for every website I used, so it wasn't doing much for me.
For as inclusive as that mission is, it seems weird to me how limited in certain areas unicode is. For instance, people use peach emoji since there isn't one for butt, eggplant since there's no penis, etc.

This doesn't contradict the stated goal exactly, but it seems against the spirit of it at least.
well, depending on the adversary, the resources required could be trivial.

> Yes, trust the guy on HN who is consistently negative about crypto about who to listen to. Sorry, but when people are so adamantly negative about something, I tend to run towards it because it often has a lot of interesting value. You have chosen the 'Chief Censor 451' role in life.

I didn't tell you who to read, I suggested you dug around and found someone else who isn't a zealot and a shill. There's good authors out there, this isn't one. I follow a number of pro-crypto authors too, ones who I disagree with but respect. They're out there.

Lyn is in my opinion only slightly above Pomp (who I know has retired to spend more time with his fiat) and Saylor (who was promoted to customer).
Is there any precedent of someone proving fraudulent concealment based on a confusing UX?
Its more a of a culture thats forced on kids out of high school really. People don’t have to go to college immediately after high school, but its… a norm, isn’t it? It would be much better if that changed…
Then, in that case, I agree. I just felt like you were downplaying the number of people that actually do benefit from it and would benefit more with the recent change.
