In terms of software development and hacking....are there good people that you can meet outside work to back on projects?
Plenty of average people where interviewed for one reason or another and the difference is still generally striking. Here’s some interviews with former southern slaves for example: https://www.loc.gov/collections/voices-remembering-slavery/

Sure, but there are big protections like that only the start of functions (with compatible signatures) can be pointed to, removing the majority of ROP gadgets, and the return addresses on the stack can not be overridden, so you can't create a ROP chain.
If you are going to be accepting payments from Russian customers, the size of your business is crucial. If it is small that's probably fine, if you are a big business you need to speak to a lawyer about possible sanctions impact. You need to be certain that you are not providing a service to a sanctioned entity or that you do not have any reg licenses coming up for review(they will look at it in a very bad way). Current sanctions allow for provision of services to certain Russian entities, and there is no legal problem assuming you don't self sanction.

In terms of accepting payments, the fact that you do not want to go to Turkey or Dubai is a big problem. It is the current scheme used for these sorts of things(I only know how it works for hedge funds) but if you want some sort of traditional experience of just receiving money in a bank Turkey/Dubai is what Russians(with money) themselves use. Depending on your customer, them setting up an account in Dubai/Russia might be a better solution, then for you there is no problem.

Otherwise, your option is crypto. If you know your customer well, you could speak with them about using Local BTC, it is very popular in Russia but then you need to keep it off the balance sheet completely(no taxes on this since it is pure P2P trading). You need an off exchange wallet to do this. The other option is obviously Monero, once again off exchange. Don't bother using anything on exchange(Coinbase/Binance/etc), once you have a steady transaction stream you will get KYC questions from their compliance department and the acc might get shut down.

To summarize, I currently don't know of a way to do it that would avoid your customers working with you to find a solution.
Note that weird stuff is overrepresented in press articles. This is a cutting edge theory, nobody is sure if it's correct or it's a silly speculation. But it has some weird angles that make clicky press articles.

Most physics is boring and technical.

In particular there are a lot of applications of Quantum Mechanics to Chemistry and Solid State Physics (for example transistors). Even weird stuff like superposition change the properties of small molecules that are easy to test in the lab and simulate in computers.

And there are even more weird stuff that mix Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity, and has effects in Chemistry that are easy to test and Particle Colliders that are also heavily tested.

The problem is trying to mix Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity. We don't know how to do that, but (un)luckily in (almost) all experiments you can choose to use the QM+SR approximation or the SR+GR approximation.

Clever. But I'll never use it.

AIs simply do not sound like people. They can fool me for a little while, but eventually you realize it's just a bot. But that's when I'm a native speaker. How will I be able to detect this when I struggle with the language?

I can't help but think it's dangerous to give a non native speaker access to this, and lead them to believe they're learning to speak like a real person. They aren't -- they're learning to speak like GPT-2.

The chief sin of AI is: this model is sufficiently close to a human. (How'd that work out for the resume filter? Or the AI responsible for setting bail?)

The worse sin is teaching someone to emulate what the AI does. You take whatever biases the AI has, and encode it into a living, breathing person.
Diatoms are of the more enjoyable things to look at through a microscope. Google Arts and Culture ran a post on this collection a while back that has some really good photos:

Doubt many Gemini sites are using Node.js on the backend, obscure packages or otherwise.

Also given that installing npms willy-nilly is your go-to example for security risk, maybe that should have a hasslewall around it instead of username:password authentication:

"You are attempting to install a node package for trivially-implemented behavior. To prove your computer-literacy, enter a javascript function that accepts a string as an argument and returns only the characters with prime-numbered indices."
this is pretty neat! Does this mean you can inject random React components into something like a Wordpress site?
If you bother to read the research they've done it makes the case that most people never change the default browser.

That's basically how most people 'choose' their browser.

It also goes over how every other browser engine is actually a Chrome ripoff - some UX changes don't make that so.
You're confusing speed with easy.
The only thing that will put this pipeline back into operation is rehabilitation of Russia, which will involve unconditional withdrawal from Ukraine, apology, $350bn of reparations, and a war crimes tribunal.
It should be prominently listed in the req as a hard requirement: "Must complete leetcode, no exceptions." Then we all know what's what. It's up to management to make decisions about how hard it wants to make recruiting for itself.
> these aren't egg cartons, they're meant to be there

Egg cartons in place of tank reactive armour may be on a schematic. That makes it no less useless. To say the Russian military is operating with top kit denies the battlefield reality.
> if they don’t consider it safe for process multitenancy, which they have every incentive to do, it’s not safe.

It's more nuanced than that. Unfortunately security is not a boolean thing, where it's either secure or it's not secure. V8 is designed to be a secure sandbox on its own. But security is actually about risk management. V8 is complicated, and it has bugs. It tends to have more bugs than a typical hypervisor does. So it's more risky to rely on it as a secure sandbox, unless you can find risk mitigations to layer on top of it. After a decade of relying on V8 alone to isolate frames from each other (within a tab), Chrome chose to add strict process isolation as a second security layer. But Chrome definitely doesn't think of that second layer as being the "secure" one -- security comes from having both together, so an attack has to bypass both at the same time.

Google still pays big bug bounties for V8 breakouts.
I have been asked exactly one contrived coding question over the forty years of my career. It happened during an interview with a startup in late 2003.

I was able to answer the question. Many did not, but the process was more about how you handled yourself through the process, how you communicated with the interviewer as you walked through the problem, than it was about reaching the actual solution. I know several people, bright people, that were hired there even though they never solved the puzzle.

After I got the proper solution, I asked the person that administered the quiz "Is this an indication of what kind of code gets written here?" He just started laughing and saying "no, no no". Because I would not take a job at any company that actually wrote code like that.

That interviewer ended up being my first manager, and we had a good work relationship. It was a great few years of my career.
The US is exporting LNG to Europe... at quite a nice profit too.
You don't know there are exactly 3 bugs to start with. While in chess, esp if you're experienced, you know what your possibilities are. Just need to pick one.

Or so it has been described above us.
Larger and more well-known companies do leet-code style programming challenges. I recently interviewed for a job in a ride hailing app company and they directly recommended practicing leetcode problems, even sent me examples of leetcode problems to practice solving. My sample is not big (it's 2 companies I iterviewed with recently), but it definitely feels like the industry is converging on this practice of testing leetcode-style problem solving in interviews. Community even built "workout plans" like this: https://www.grind75.com/

I'm 11 years into the profession. Solving leetcode is somewhat different from the problems I solve at work, so I struggled at first and had to practice, and practice a lot. I have yet to find out how useful this is outside of job interviews, but my brain started to forget some topics from CS after doing so much web stuff and it was a good way to remember these and practice problem solving.
Agreed. RDS is a no-brainer, generally. The issue here appears to be with the unit economics per tenant. My argument is if the unit economics matter so much, the technology choice is likely a poor fit.
I kind of expect that, instead of the prices crashing in nominal terms, they will be inflated away by a few years of high inflation.
> Good "leadership" decisions in my opinion are really about good delegation and organisation of a team's resources, you shouldn't really be taking "lead" in any actual decision making

You're not talking about leadership, you're talking about "decision-making high-ranking (?) managers in the business world".

A good leader is someone who you want to follow, because you trust that they will do their best in guiding you (the team) towards your goal.

Wouldn't you rather follow someone who would feel bad/guilty for letting the team down?
Some spend $1,000 on a power cable. Something that can make absolutely no difference in sound quality but swear it is worth it. They don't spend a second thinking about the cheap power wires in the wall that feed their $1,000 power cable....

How the hell does one stay active on all these and get time to do anything else?

Do you just repost the same content everywhere? Is there any real benefit from joining and investing time into these communities?
Why stop there? Why not ditch computers and teach my bootcamp students to farm?

Because nextjs is an industry standard technology letting small teams rollout complex and great apps in record setting time, used by dozens of major corporations, hundreds of start-ups, and is a wonderful addition to any resume, and a proven way to get your next job.
"I had the impression that he wasn't tense or even fully concentrating on the game in critical positions, while outplaying me as black in a way I think only a handful of players can do."

That's a mere gut feeling, how on earth is Niemann supposed to defend against such a vague allegation? Magnus is a world-class competitor not only in chess but also in fantasy football and even quite decent at poker, so it stands to reason that he knows a thing or two about statistics and game theory. I was hoping he'd have far more concrete evidence than what he shared in this statement (like maybe he was playing a game that he'd deliberately prepared to test how long Niemann will take to compute certain hard-to-spot key moves; even that would still be extremely vague, but at least give Niemann something to concretely address). He is such an outstanding brain that I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he needs to produce concrete evidence.

In the end Magnus hints that he has more to share, and I hope he will do so soon. Otherwise I don't see how we could get to any sort of satisfying resolution here (short of Niemann suddenly confessing, which seems unlikely, and we still don't have evidence that he has anything to confess at all).
So many ads and repeated pictures and ads and pictures.

Not a conspiracy: Biden himself stated - quite publically - that they would do it. It has been done.

Besides which, the US unilaterally gives itself the right to do these sorts of things at its own discretion on a regular basis.
People are still shitting on Nikola for Trevor Milton's fraud, but he has been gone for two years, and the people who took over have turned Nikola into a legitimate business. They created a reasonable plan, executed as planned, and are now selling trucks as quickly as they can manufacture them. Their partner - IVECO - is a multinational, well respected truck manufacturer based in Italy with sales throughout Europe, which is exactly the kind of partnership they need at this point in their growth curve.
Good point. It was just something I observed, and wondered if it was a common issue with these language AIs, or something specific to this one.
Or a new German government, but your option seems more likely.

The UK government has a history of propping up the housing market, so given that context it makes sense.
Ask HN: Startup founders mentioned there will be no increment in salary
Yet I saw in Instagram that they bought a new house
I took the risk last year of taking a 5 year mortgage at 1.7% because the upside of the rates going further down was nothing compared to the risk of going up and the premium compared to 2 years was very small. I strongly suspected that the end of the good times was near, but this surpassed by expectations. It is a significant mortgate and I'm currently not excluding that rates might be in the 10% in 4 years. It is not going to be fun.
For those looking the blackbox version, best alt to LiteStep, that is updated to latest 2021 is this

Just a few hours ago I tried ArchiveBox again. Used the docker-compose version, imported around 600 bookmarks and... 5 hours later everything is pending, it has stopped creating new files and folders in the data folder, and I have no idea how to find out what's wrong.

I'm not terribly motivated right now to dive into the community and ask for help, so I won't seriously complain, but it's at least not trivial to use.
> Why do you want to use more violent language about this war than is necessary?

Both sides of this discussion seem unnecessary and loaded. It’s obviously a war. That shouldn’t need to be said. But once said, it shouldn’t be so vigorously fought.
At risk of being a massively unpopular opinion: Ukraine has a track record of being an unreliable trading entity against other European countries, to the point where it looks like they were actively stealing gas that was sold by Russia to e.g. Germany.[1]

Under these circumstances, I'd much rather avoid being dependant on Ukrainian gas and would prefer Russian one every day of the week.

Being able to move out is a privilege few Russians have.

Do you work with the citizens of the countries that buy oil and gas from Russia? They ensure that they are warm and comfy by giving money to Putin.
No, bobajeff is correct. The vast majority of language acquisition occurs through input and exposure to the language via reading and listening. Trying to speak when you have no grasp yet of the grammar and vocabulary is not an efficient use of time, plus you don't have a good grasp of the sounds early on. You're better off gaining comprehension before you try to start speaking--if you actually look at the experiences of someone like Benny Lewis, who is well known for his "speak early and often" approach, you'll note that it was only effective for him with languages he already had a decent background with, or that were reasonably close to English.
Did civilians casualties go down?

No. They went up.

It therefore doesn't matter one iota what the war criminals responsible for that murder, have to say about it. No amount of flowery 'brave' language is going to bring those kids back from out under the rubble.

Stop defending known war criminals. McCrystal belongs in chains in The Hague, as does Obama. They both worked too damned hard to justify their murder of civilians to the rest of the civilized world.
His later statement that plausible states are only thus if they "evolve backward without generating contradictions" which is a truism if I ever heard one. You mean plausible states come from a prior plausible state, and can't just be created willynilly? Wow! That would be pretty damning for your thought experiment as presented!

Your thought experiment photon not being created by "special processes" like any of the interactions of quantum mechanics (such as virtual pair annihilation or from atoms) means that it presupposes an origin for such a photon, and you find it comes from an evaporated micro black hole? That doesn't feel like a paradox, that feels like the conclusions from what may be an implausible setup. Conservation of energy demands the photon comes from somewhere, and you found that it was emitted by a black hole, just as it vanishes; so perhaps it's less implausible than imagined, or perhaps not? Either way, the only paradox is the demand that we be able to place a photon in space without any cause and then work backwards to assume where in the vaccuum this photon sprung up from to somehow make this implausible scenario plausible - and then, when you find it, and don't trace back further to ask what made that, you then assert it's a paradox because you don't think a black hole makes sense? I still find Biddings sections in this article very confusing and in need of clarification. But, I doubt the universe is in the habit of retconning, though arguably we wouldn't be able to tell either way, so oh well.
Changing tastes, and the electric guitar, killed band instruments. Three or four people could replace a 19 piece dance band. The economics were overwhelming.

While it's surely a blip and not a trend, there's a shortage of band instruments right now. I just donated my student flute to a nearby music store, and they said they had 40 kids on the waiting list for flutes. The Elkhart brands still exist, but a lot of instruments are made in China.

I think people are still interested in music, but electronics have taken over. Today even electric guitars are in decline.

This seems like it's close to contradicting Metcalfe's Law.
Yeah that part was basically where I stopped reading because it's clearly nonsense.

Point 3 about the "outdated computing models from the 1940s and 50s" also ignores the fact that Turing machines are provably equivalent or stronger than any other system of computing ever conceived.
Also in some cities space is limited. Having space for a 6 foot piano in NYC should account for the increased rent that would cause.
Any algorithm can be made to create "yes", "no", and "I don't know" buckets, and all undecidability means is that "I don't know" cannot be empty. I don't really know of any case where undecidability truly caused people to shy away from attempting to solve problems: static analysis is frequently undecidable and yet it's a fairly thriving field.
Well, for example the deck in the post. No true Sligh player would play a Ball Lightning because it's card disadvantage. It was used for a long time for "red deck with a mana curve", but all decks respect the mana curve now so maybe it's fallen out of favour.
The answer is always that you can spend whatever you'd like on home audio gear.

If you have 20 dollars, you can find yourself something that makes sounds. If you have 2 million dollars sitting around, I bet these sounded some amount better:

This looks super neat and incredibly useful, but the pricing is an absolute non-starter. I'll definitely use more than the free tier, and the next paid tier is 3000 API requests for $300 per MONTH? Am I alone in thinking this is way too expensive?

"$300 per month for small projects" makes me feel like I'm extra poor or something.

Why?

Because they can get away with it.

And that is because we no longer have strong, nationwide union presences (either in the US or Canada) holding them accountable.

Unionize your workplace, and get a bare minimum of annual cost-of-living increases included in the contract, plus some sort of performance-based increase. Those sorts of clauses are, from what I've heard, still standard in many union contracts.

From there you can decide if you wish to seek higher salary by finding a new job.
