Maybe it's just because it was the order I read his work in, but I'd start with "Blood Meridian". It's just beyond so many other books out there. Same with the Border Trilogy.

I'm coincidentally reading "The Road" right now for the first time -- somehow I never made it to it over the years -- and honestly I'm not sure I'd have gone into the rest of his work so deeply if I had started with it. Same with "Suttree". They're good, but "Blood Meridian" and the Border Trilogy I barely took breaks from while reading. Just plowed through them front to back. When I got to the end of "Blood Meridian" I just started at the front again. No need for a warm up, just jump right in to some of the best literature you'll ever encounter.
Bad idea. IG already has too many ads and suggested posts to where it's getting hard to see your own friend's posts. I moved off FB years ago and this might push me off IG too.
I’ve been working on a language server for Standard ML called Millet: https://azdavis.net/posts/millet/

There was some past discussion about it on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32512715

For my part, I think it’s unfortunate that virtually no mainstream language has a formal semantics in the style of SML’s Definition. I wrote a bit about formal programming language semantics in a series of posts: https://azdavis.net/posts/define-pl-01/
It can catch all kinds of bugs, but you have to ask the correct questions. So it comes down to define what a bug is and the assumptions you use for testing. And therein lies the problem: what constitutes a bug? A function that add two numbers but bever terminates might be considered bugfree if forget to include as a bug that not giving an answer before the end of the universe is faulty behaviour. We humans are terrible at writing these kind of specifications, so formal verification as a method just pushes the correctness from code to specification.

Are you asking if this is a secure method to generate passwords or if this one result is readily crackable?

The method is obviously flawed as everyone born in 1990 shares this password. This one result though was relatively safe in that random password guessers estimate that it would take billions of years to crack.

You need to tell them that you'll take away space from cars in the dense area of the city and make the suburbs denser. Otherwise you wouldn't be telling the truth. Neither statement is popular.
Yes, that part is different. It's a misguided feature but not too crazy of an idea. Link previews are a common feature in many applications, and this is likely just the search index equivalent of that.
This is why I keep buying Blurays (and then rip them for easy consumption). The sucky thing is that most TV shows don't get released on Bluray anymore.
Start with these questions:

1. How big is the search space?

2. What analysis approaches are likely to bear fruit for the search space? (theoretical analysis? optimization?)

3. If optimization is called for, what kind?

Many real-world datasets use multiple annotations per example to ensure higher-quality labels. CROWDLAB is a new set of algorithms that estimate 3 key quantities better than prior standard crowdsourcing algorithms like GLAD and Dawid-Skene: (1) a consensus label per example, (2) a confidence score for the correctness of the consensus label, and (3) a rating for each annotator.

The blog post gives some intuition for how it works, along with some benchmarking results, and the math and the nitty-gritty details can be found in this paper: https://cleanlab.github.io/multiannotator-benchmarks/paper.p...

Happy to answer any questions related to multi-annotator datasets or data-centric approaches to ML in general here.

>The word "crisis" is overused. It is supposed to refer an urgent problem, not a chronic one such as the prevalence of mental illness.

I feel like crisis is fair here. The 90% figure is quite shocking of a number until you realize it's CNN.

It's not news though. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7013e2.htm

Everyone knew lockdowns would cause this situation. The big question is how to deal with it. If you were emperor of your country, ordering or making mental health support free may be a long term excellent choice but there isn't the ability to handle it. There are not enough professionals to handle the demand.

Even prior to covid, we had mental health awareness campaigns with significant consequences in convincing people they have mental health issues when they in reality did not. So the already scarce resource was already stretched beyond the limit.

So we have reached a crisis point where people aren't able to get the help they need: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2847360/

This reminds me of the "second mover advantage". Time after time, it seems that the first company that comes up with a new idea and/or does the most to educate people about it will not be the same one to benefit most from it. Either bigger companies crush them (sometimes followed by showing up first at the resulting fire sale) or other companies of any size lap them by taking advantage of the related second-system effect. Since transistors have already been mentioned, both Shockley/Fairchild and Fairchild/Intel could be considered examples. Others could cite Edison copying ideas from any of Tesla, Swan, or Volta. The Wright Brothers could be put on either side of the equation, at different times.

Also, this:

> One difficulty is it’s hard to distinguish “ahead of their time beacon shining” from “lucky idiot”

The world is full of lucky idiots who are continually attaching themselves to one "contrarian" idea after another, in hopes that they can claim primacy after somebody else does the hard work of developing or popularizing it. No shortage of them here, for example. It's a gamble, betting that others will ignore or forget the more numerous (and sometimes even harmful) misses accumulated in the process. The world could do with a lot less of that, TBH. There are already more credible theories than people with the knowledge and patience to explore them properly.
>What _is_ unreasonable is fighting tooth and nail to prevent anyone without a sufficiently large bag of money from moving to Santa Cruz to try and preserve that low density.

Why? Why shouldn't locals be allowed to set development restrictions to their liking? Even if their desire is to intentionally stop population growth.
This really is a depressingly true sentiment. Nature is both the most important publication but so often, the big shots publish overhyped stuff there that doesn't deserve it but get away with it since they are bigshots. Underscore here for another piece of evidence of the dysfunction in science.

Thanks for those pointers!
Wow, OK. Your point seems to be "If you discount economic growth, then inflation has been high". Well... OK. Granted. But let's game that out:

It's true, that if you correct for all the inventions and economies that have made its production possible, the relative "cost" of, say, a nice new five-burner induction range is indeed extremely high in comparison to, say, the bow drill your ancestors would have used. Probably in the billions or so, if not higher.

But that's not telling you anything! In point of fact the "cost" measured in hours of labor[1] of collecting fuel and starting fires over the course of a decade or so[2] is VASTLY higher for the paleolithic toolkit. And it's not even remotely close, which is why no one chooses to cook with an open fire and a bow drill except as an amusement.

Basically: you're bending yourself around and measuring the wrong thing to try to make a point about inflation in an area that has nothing to do with it.

[1] Which is, at the end of the day, all we really care about optimizing. We live one life and we want to live it well doing as little work as possible. Frankly this is sort of "postulate zero" of the whole field of economics.

[2] Just assume the range will last for a decade. I don't know what the real average is but it's in that range.
Counterpoint: I did the same thing and used Little Snitch to try to catch a request, and did not see one. If there had been one, it would have attributed it to a particular process.
I'm not saying it's not happening but I just did this (with both a public and private IP) and was unable to produce. For reference I used the following:

* https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/ - for the QR Code

* http://10.0.1.202 and http://8.8.8.8 - for the urls

* Command + Shift + 4 - To select the area of the screen with the QR code (using the native screenshot tool, I disabled CleanShotX)
This is a big worry of mine.

I've worked in various places from big finance, public sector, to privately owned. It was only the big finance institution (the biggest) that actually seemed to care about supply chain attacks. Everything was locked down super well and you could not! use a random library without it getting vetted by a central team. In fact, we were even locked down to specific versions of programming languages.

People see this as annoying and in the way of developers, but it really is the only way to secure your development "supply chain". When people cry about this I always ask: do you really want the entire financial industry grinding to a halt because someone took down left-pad?
> "do everything, all at once, and we need right now. Stop doing what you're doing, do this thing instead!"

Hum... Since the single main stated goal of kanban is to minimize WIP, it's safe to say that this is not kanban.

Of course, it won't stop bad managers from implementing it. But nothing will stop bad managers from implementing it anyway. Anything can devolve into that, trying to implement something different won't save you.
Right, that makes sense. In that instance, they need to be enforcing some (internal) standards. E.g. "everything should be deployed on monitored k8s so I can pull deployment info from them and find out what I have deployed".

But then, the issue you're now describing doesn't seem to be anything to do with SBOMs being deficient in any way, or lockfiles being bad. How are you connecting those things?

@Dang, should these threads be merged?
If, as he suggests, it may be happening on iOS as well then it would offer third parties the interesting possibility of "probing" some locations for iPhone photo events, especially if the background requests and their headers can be distinguished from intentional requests.

Say you own a bar, nightclub, popular tourist location, or whatever. Place specific QR codes at locations of encoding URLs pointing to a server you own, and you will be able to count how many times an iPhone user took a photo that included said QR code (or, if background scanning is active even before the picture is taken, how many times an iPhone was pointed towards it).

Not that this would likely provide any valuable information for a malicious actor, nor could it really be done covertly. It's more of a thought experiment.
"The new Amazon Catalytic Capital initiative will also offer mentorship and business opportunities to startups led by Black, Latino, Indigenous, women, and LGBTQIA".

Are founders supposed to document that they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or asexual? What about founders who are in those categories but do not want to put that on their public profiles? A broader question is whether it is right to discriminate against straight cisgendered people, which is what this program appears to do, or against whites and Asians.
Isn’t this just URL prefetching extended to QR codes?

I don’t see what the fuss is about, unless there is some innuendo that data is being sent to Apple.

The car has mechanisms, some of them implemented in software (eg turning on cooling fans) to not get hot.

So does a switch.

Someone installing gentoo on a cars ECU, and not implementing the feature to turn the fans on will easily overheat and destroy the car... the same is happening here with the lcd controller (and yes, the switch is designed so that the user can never go above some brightness level... unless the user hacks the switch and installs some random linux on it).
The fact is Meta is still raking in $B's in profit a year, so it's not like it needs to do this. Better to focus on long-term retention of users (through fewer ads) than short term profits.
This is the problem with being beholden to public shareholders / stock price, and one reason why Twitter is likely to fare better under Musk (whatever you or I may think of him as a person) than as a public company.

From the standpoint of homo economicus, that is the point. And, contrary to the OP's point, it doesn't constrain utility to just economic utility.

>How do you know those are the things that actually matter (as opposed to the things they say they value)? Because those are the things they work to maximize.

The counterpoint from behavioral economics, is that homo ecnomicus is a myth and people aren't wholly rational actors. Implying there may be a gulf between what they actively maximize and what they think "actually matter."

You are probably well aware but this is exactly the lines being sold by the Kremlin.

Ukraine, as we can see in reality, isn't Russia. Don't identify as Russia and has not been wanting to be part of Moscow-ruled territory for a few decades.

How exactly could this whole ordeal been avoided? Letting Putin continue the dismantling of Ukraine through civil wars and separatist movements?

I generated a QR code locally, saved it to Downloads; created a QR code online, downloaded it to Downloads; created a QR code online, downloaded it, added it to Photos, deleted it from Downloads immediately. Thus far, after 20 minutes, of those 3 QR codes with distinct URLs, not one has been hit by anything. Will keep monitoring though.

And with the same result, you can't expect someone building your house to finish it on time, on budget, the same way you expected it to be built going in to it. Construction projects in the real world end up the same way software projects end up -- with ~ ~ unforeseen ~ ~ delays and complications.
Really depends on the room, your personal taste, and the source material. Do you have room in the room for the side speakers? Do you watch a lot of movies with planes or other things flying over your head?

I don't have gear that can decode Atmos, unfortunately, so I haven't tried ceiling speakers myself - only at movie theaters. Why not 7.1.2? =)
This doesn't have to anything nefarious. It could be an unfortunate combination of code reuse and feature creep.

Probably the QR scanner written for the iOS camera has an option to present URLs nicely (by fetching them), and some other OS component for image indexing reused the QR scanner without realizing it comes with side effects.
Phones use flash LED controllers that limit the time the LED is able to turn on in high power mode. Though apparently you can misdesign the HW with these, too, as I've recently discovered.
The trick is to just do it. You will make mistakes and you will learn from them. I'd start with learning how to be confident you have good, usable, backups.

I am wondering wether this is a (considerably) secure method of generating passwords in general. The example I made was very simple and not creative. It only tried to illustrate what I am thinking about.

Edit/ Addition: Can you share the tool you used to estimated the time? I knew there is a way to see how random something is, but search results are cluttered with generators and I couldn't find something.
There is absolutely nothing malicious that has been shown.

I don't use Spotify much (afaict they've done more to damage artist economics than outright piracy), but at least they have a paid/premium layer of service that one can pay for and focus on specific desired content without add interruptions.

Facebook and Instagram? Nope. You can't even pay them for an experience which lets you focus on what you want. Which means that the only economic incentives come from the ad revenue side, and the user engagement side will be seen primarily in terms of manipulation.
What is the difference between interesting content and this bland marketing article?
So you're saying a car has software features in the ECU preventing the user from destroying a car. So does the switch in its software (OS).

We're talking about someone taking a device, hacking it, installing some random software (whatever hacked version of linux runs on switch), and that software does not have the feature of limiting the max brightness at an accaptable (non-damaging level). So the same as if you took an ecu of a car, put linux on it, didn't implement the limp mode feature and then blame the hardware for overheating.
That's crazy!

The right thing would be to add a lookup function to first verify the phone number is in use and then call the number to ask for permission to use it; followed by a webhook to send a confirmation back to the database to cache that info because this needs to be efficient!

I'll second the NixOS recommendation, but cautiously as it is learning more (different) sysadmin rather than networking. The downside is your "get myself out of trouble when I mess up or an update breaks" is mostly changed. The upside is the NixOS solution is to reboot and choose the previous GRUB entry. Also you get a focused community where the documentation is nice and dense, and a natural reason to avoid curl|sh, docker bundles, and other disempowering nonsense.

If your goal is to self-host, you don't need to learn too much networking. Focus on the Linode, which has a nice public IP, and try out the various suggestions people have made for services.

To learn networking specifically, do projects with networking. Set up wireguard directly rather than tailscale. Multi home a server with ipv6 tunnels (he.net, 6to4, etc). Set up your own router for your house. Host a service at home, either on your home IP or with a port forwarded from the VPS. Learn nftables and how packets flow through the kernel rather than limping along with copypasta iptables commands.
While he's wrong to say it "doubled," it has risen ~40% since 2020, and the graph he linked is M2 -- the spike in that graph is not due to definition change -- that's actual money supply expansion. You're thinking of the change to the definition of M1, which did cause a really huge spike that was misleading if you didn't understand the change. The converted figures that do adjust the definition in both periods do show this particular spike (as do graphs using only the pre-May 2020 definition).
Data point: I did the exact same procedure on the exact same kernel version and did not see a hit.

I'm wondering if there is some setting in Spotlight or Finder that is required to see this behavior.
