2022 Nobel Physics Prize goes to seminal tests of spooky action at a distance
Given that cheating at chess would require an extremely small amount of bandwidth you'd end up monitoring or jamming an extremely large amount of spectrum. One could go so far as to use things like IR/UV LEDs and it would be extremely difficult to detect.
This reads strongly like, "we're losing, badly, and we hope this will buy enough runway for us to figure things out before we've lost completely."

I genuinely don't know why anyone would buy into Tesla now.
Australia has no local car manufacturers and hasn't for some time. Toyota is by far the biggest car seller , followed by Mazda and Hyundai.

Tesla seem to have sold 12,094 locally last year, putting them at 18th on that list.

Australia with its long drives if you leave a city and lack of infrastructure doesn't suit electric cars at the moment. Will change eventually, but likely lagging the rest of the world.
Yes, about half-way though I saw where this was going. A bottom-up
positivist attempt to redefine "values" has (as you say Heidegger)
precedent, but is usually steps along the way to defining what
philosophers mean by value (so distinguishing
universaliable/simpliciter kinds of "good/bad")

Those kinds of "facts" have utility. It's useful to know such "states
of mind facts" as "That dog will bite you if it doesn't like you".
But that's not real values. IIRC this is the difference between
cognitive and non-cognitive value theories, but I forget now why that
difference matters.
Didn't need to be an expert to see where all of this was going. Again, there were many calls of "you're locking us down -> very shitty economy going forward -> things will be shitty for everyone in terms of their physical existence, not only for grandma".

If anything, this should have put another big dent in experts' expertise, meaning if they knew what they were getting us into with their decisions (after all, they're experts) and they choose this high inflation route nonetheless.
The best way to protect a bike is actually an insurance policy. Anything can be cut with a battery powered angle grinder. Bike lock, shed, whatever.
I joined NextDoor partially from curiosity, partially for some deals on secondhand goods. Not a week goes by that several points aren't made with little clips from these sorts of cameras. A few have gotten jammed, although the owners didn't immediately know it -- they didn't understand why the cameras suddenly stopped working as someone came in range.

I'm not really sure what these things are for. Nobody seems to be able to identify anyone from these (low resolution, not a great frame rate or bit depth, the person is often masked), yet people post "Do you know who this is who was trying the handle on my car door at 3 a.m.?" I would think people would do better with concealed, street-adjacent pairs of cameras pointed antiparallel to capture license plates and just use this Ring business as a way to know when to check the cameras. As it stands, they seem to be "Yes, a porch pirate did in fact take your stuff" confirmations and little else.
> Any type of of large industrial operation

The dataset you linked to doesn't seem to show any of the chip fabs already operating in the US. Do you have any reason to believe that chip fabs (as they are run these days) are major polluters on par with other industries?
They would have to accept being a drastically smaller company going forward which I doubt they are prepared to do. It seems like they want to recapture the glory days and it is all or nothing.
In the past I've seen this one:

Perhaps there are more recent versions.

I liked the spirit of the proposal, but never studied it.
Because power users tired of slow userspace will want their kernel to be slow too?
The fact that more people couldn't adhere to an IF plan than a the other plan isn't really relevant. It's easy for someone (like me) to be able to ascertain if it I am able to stick to IF, so it doesn't matter if other people find it harder. Like I said, if other people find the other plan easier to do, and also effective, then it makes sense for them to do it. I don't understand the name-calling, as if no rational person could choose IF.
Its vapourware, that's all.
1. There's no extra money - poorer people just consume less.

2. Because companies just take all of the difference as extra revenue, and prefer to increase salaries (if not just keep everything as profit) rather than reducing prices.

Note that I'm not claiming that increased money supply doesn't cause inflation. It obviously does. I'm claiming it's not the only cause of inflation. It's sufficient, but not necessary for inflation to happen.
>>> One may even wonder why a police officer accused of rape was not only still on duty, but even training other officers.

>> Because accusations are cheap enough to be weaponizable as a denial-of-service attack.

> Police officers are not held accountable commensurate to the incredible amount of power and influence they enjoy. They should be held to much much higher standards

Surely the context of this exchange is whether a police officer who has been accused of a crime still should be on active duty? Also I didn’t say ”punish”, I said ”get rid of”, which is effectively what happens if a cop is taken off duty pending investigation and potential court case.
Ask HN: How do I learn to communicate effectively?
By communicate I mean to convey what I want to say with the appropriate style and manner so that I don't say anything that sounds demeaning or hurtful to the listener. It also includes listening attentively to what the other person is saying.

How to learn all that?

ENIAC was finished in 1945. I cannot imagine how small the programming world must've felt back then.

How does this indicate that they are losing? In what regard?

They certainly aren't losing on being a money making enterprise, before or after this change.

Or did you mean w.r.t. having autonomous cars? I don't see how adding more work will buy runway...
What timing! I'm just experimenting with some bioinformatics codes, and wow... the formats are terrible. They're mostly sequential text files, some tens of gigabytes in size.

Simply uncompressing a file can be a significant bottleneck, as this can inherently use only 1 CPU core.

Keep in mind that these files are intended to be processed on monstrously huge 128 core and 2TB memory machines! What happens is that the system uses 0.5% of its capacity to manipulate the files while the other 99.5% is heating the data center air.

I'm looking at the CPU usage metric graph now, and the machine is spending half the time at 100% load and half the time at 1% load. That's half the total capacity wasted.

If you find yourself in 2022 or later designing a file format intended for bulk data and you use any of the words "stream", "serialization", or "text", stop. Rethink what you have done, and this time consider that normal machines you can buy for normal money have 256 hardware threads. Soon, 512, and then 1024 in just a few years!

Everything at this scale should be split into blocks for parallel processing. Shoving text files into a .tar.gz archive is not acceptable any more. I don't care what 1970s "standard" it adheres to, that just doesn't matter any more, the hardware has moved on.

I think it's high time that the industry standardised on a generic "container" format to replace legacy archive file formats. Something akin to a random-access archive file like zip, but designed so that even a single file can be decoded in parallel, even if compressed.

As an example of "parallel thinking", CRC or SHA style checksums are automatically a no-go. They're inherently sequential. Instead, Merkle trees would have to be used.

Compression efficiency of small files with random access could be improved by using something like zstd as the internal compression algorithm, but with a shared dictionary stored separately. This would retain the advantages of 'tar' without requiring sequential decoding of files.

Etc...

There are various ways to get ahead of this problem too if you ssh into a tmux session automatically. There are various ways to achieve this.

I didn't know about reptyr, it's very cool. There were times I wished this was possible, but whenever I searched for a solution I got "It's not possible". Oh well...
Stockfish is definitely strong but the way LCZ or AZ beats its opponents is totally different and foreign to humans. Stockfish has a database and a whole bunch of openings prebaked into it.

Here are the actual stats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Chess_Engine_Championship#...

Leela Chess Zero is definitely not as strong as Stockfish 14 but still ranked #4. That's not nothingburger.

> AlphaZero beating Stockfish was more a propaganda attempt from Google to appear as a world leader in AI then an actually attempt to find the superior engine.

Wtf?
It's very much a tale of two dollars, however. The dollar price index plummeted after abolishing the gold standard. Now it has risen substantially, as it did in 2008, to become the safe haven currency that all other countries are hoarding, due to inflation in their own countries. At some point this house of cards will collapse, specifically if the Fed capitulates in its fight against inflation and stops raising interest rates.
I'm a huge fan of open source (which, given my username and the fact that open source is basically socialist principles in practice should be no surprise), and it bums me out to no end that we haven't figured out how to keep the folks working on it fed, sheltered, and healthy.

How much more open source would we have with a healthy safety net, basic income, and social housing? I'd guess a whole lot more.
It's vastly superior to that. I can tell you haven't tried it.
The books cited are weird self help-y "non" fiction books that misrepresent research: when you look at the actual articles is nature all the way down.

What are those "multiple bits of evidence suggesting that Peiter Zatko had in fact been in touch with Musk's team"?

Edit: Not exactly proof of contact between Zatko and Musk, but found this:

https://techcrunch.com/2022/10/04/twitter-musk-zatko-whistle...

Twitter wants to keep looking in light of a mysterious email from May 6 that turned up in the files of Quinn Emanuel, a legal firm that represents Musk.

Specifically, someone reached out with an anonymous ProtonMail account on that date purporting to be a “former Exec at Twitter leading teams directly involving Trust & Safety/Content Moderation.” In the email, the sender suggests that Musk’s team get in touch on another platform (through “alternate secure means”) in order for them to provide information about Twitter.
Inertia is a powerful thing. Look at how many people still use C and C++ (and Java!) despite there being arguably better alternatives.
I think calling DVDs and 480p "unwatchable" is a pretty extreme take. Sure you might not be able to count an actor's eyelashes, but a well-shot film on anamorphic DVD properly upscaled can still look pretty fantastic. If watching on a tablet or phone (as more and more people seem to do nowadays) it would probably be hard for your average consumer to even tell the difference unless you were running them side by side. And that doesn't even take into account that most 4K content is consumed on streaming services that save money by serving content at the lowest bitrate possible, leading to compression artifacts (notably distracting banding and loss of detail in films with a lot of low-lit scenes), where watching an uncompressed DVD could arguably be said to look superior.
And to make people feel good about their purchase.

BMW doesn't really need to advertise as their new cars are only affordable for a small subset of the population. They advertise to re-enforce to their customers they made a great decision parting with their money.

Anyone who has taught a technical subject in the university knows that something like 1/5-1/2 of the audience is inclined to teach when there is not much risk, even when there is very little (a grade on an exam) at stake. When there is money at stake the inclination increases. When the marginal benefits of cheating are high is when cheating is most likely. This occurs in any competitive context that is a subculture (i.e. not football) in which the, say, top ten or one hundred are well compensated ($5000+) but no one else is.

Cheating is particularly easy in any online context and those who dismiss the notion that online sports and gambling aren't infected with it are simply naive. People cheat in competitive bass fishing where all you have to do is cut the fish open to catch them ...

History teaches us, don't let interest rates go below 2.5%.
It is completely irrelevant, but that's not stopping people from downvoting the anecdote, seemingly because they don't realize (or don't want to accept) the fact that Tesla has regressed so far that they're starting to miss the bar that earlier versions of the same vehicles set with AP1!

Contrary to some of the replies, at low speeds AEB does override the accelerator, unlike the highway ACC component of AP, so it should have engaged.
> Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it's far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.

> Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it's nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.

> It's like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It's like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that's open source. You get no power and you get no money.

> It's exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not meant that you didn't exploit them. And for the record that's how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that's exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.

> I really don't see the "we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license", all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there's solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it's the standard "real communism has never been tried" argument. AGPL is the only thing that I've seen so far that's an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.
Fake Cybersecurity Awards by CIOReview Industry Era Mytechmag
Cybersecurity expert, Chris Roberts, lamented earlier today in a LinkedIn post (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sidragon1_shitshow-cyberbloodyeverything-infosec-activity-6757591634097033216-Q5I_) that he was offered a cybersecurity award for the low price of $1,200. His outrage prompted me to realize that most cybersecurity professionals and decision makers do not get the opportunity to see the evidence many of the “awards” in cybersecurity are bogus. I took a few minutes to search my email archives for some of the pay to play awards we have received in recent months.

WE WON WHAT?!?
In the recent entry, Triangulating a Sustainable Revolution, I explain the “why and how” of what makes WitFoo appear so weird to the cybersecurity market. Because of our mission and philosophies, we do not participate in unsustainable market behaviors that include pay-to-play awards and recognition.

We know for a fact that none of these institutions have tested our product or spoken to any of our employees, customers, partners, or advisors.

THE OFFENDERS LIST
Here is a (non-comprehensive) list of bogus awards we have won and the small price to allow re-reprints. For obvious reasons, I am not adding a hyperlink.

Using computer vision on the video stream (eg via a capture card) and then sending valid mouse and keyboard inputs most definitely has not been around for decades. It's a mechanism to cheat that has zero binaries running on the host computer.
> qualified immunity is there because police officers are human and mistakes happen

Last time I checked, all humans are human ... and mistakes happen. Try using that line the next time you're explaining yourself to the police.

I'm not sure I understand why police officers should get any kind of extra leniency? I'd probably want to hold police officers to higher standards than the public, not lower.
If you are one of the parties in the conversation, then it stands to reason that you have more than screenshots.
Wireshark 4.0.0 has been released
Sure - goods whose production costs are not deeply tied to gas will not go up in price, or at least not as much. For example, software prices or services shouldn't immediately be affected if gas prices go up but the money supply stays relatively the same.

But electricity, gas, consumer goods, food, housing (via construction costs) - these will all go up, and they form the vast majority of consumer spending.

FreeBSD is doing a great job catching up to Linux, yes, (not in the ZFS case though where they were the pioneers) but once you start catching up you have to, well, continue catching up in perpetuity.
The only reason the states are afloat right now is because the federal government gave them hundreds of billions in printed money. So, yeah, it’s printed all the same.

1. Federal reserve makes several trillions in new money and lends it to the US Government.

2. The US Government passes “infrastructure” and “Covid relief” bills that shower billions on states and cities.

If not for this flow of printed money, most of the states would be cutting budgets since 2020.

So, yeah, a lot of it is printed.
> OTOH, the number of Kafka setups I have seen that'd lose things when something goes down ...

Was the data actually acked across all replicas by Kafka? If so, very interested in how it was lost.
When leadership sees numbers going in the wrong direction, they squeeze everywhere they can. Often this means making poor long term or poor engineering decisions in hopes they can squeeze some short term gain.

What I see, from decades of being an engineer, is a company making a bad decision probably to cut costs. Why would Tesla need to cut costs? Something isn't working out correctly.
I hate to pull rank, but I've seen this enough to realize almost everyone saying "statistics but not calculus" are simply ignorant to what calculus (or analysis) entails. It is true that the classes as taught focus on continuous (smooth actually) functions, but data needs not to be continuous for you to use calculus, otherwise the field would be useless in real life applications and wouldn't even be a part of high school education like number theory isn't.

If there is any issue, there is an issue in how it is taught: I feel like there is too much focus on symbolic manipulation. The algebra essentially prepares you to take a physics course, and that's it really. The underlying concepts however do lead you to things like optimization and approximation (which is fundamentally what calculus is anyway) and that needs to be communicated to students somehow.
This seemed like an odd choice - having a chip plant in a small, beautiful tourist town. Then I clicked the link and boom - it's another place with the same name.
I think people - people in business selling software - try to apply their mental models to open source software.

But sometimes these models just don't quite fit.

maybe open source software doesn't actually need money - it just needs ways to attract people to give their time and attention. Why does it have to match traditional business models?

It's like saying: hacker news isn't sustainable - we need to figure out how to pay people for their submissions and comments.

I'm not saying we should ignore capitalism -- It works! But maybe all projects don't need to fit the same model to work well.
No, it isn’t. Whilst a lot of work remains to be done for really commercially successful quantum computers (and probably a couple of decades), we’ve had experimental devices that can be used for research and development since the late 1990s.

We are currently where computing was in the 1900s: critical innovations like transistors and ICs have not happened yet, but the concept of computers is much older than that, with examples such as Babbage’s analytical engine or Pascal’s calculator.
Agree. I feel awful that Deepmind honchos take a round table meeting once in a while, where they pick up a board or online game and totally demolish the top player just to prove how good ML algorithms are.
