>It’s impossible to determine Putin’s personal motivations from outside; the best we can do is speculate.

Russia has no convenient geographic features to protect it from invasion, so it relies on long distances. Those distances are much shorter than they used to be, and Russian doctrine for at least the past decade has been focused on creating confusion and chaos in Eastern Europe. The chaos is here, and they probably misread the international community on what they could get away with.

Now that they're in it, though, I think Putin is the biggest obstacle to Russia extricating themselves from the debacle.

I gotta say as a native Chinese myself, I’m super supportive of business moving production away from China. CCP and brainwashed Chinese folks need to realize they can’t do whatever da faq they want just because they have cheap labor as leverage!
Paper really is the best hardware platform for voting. Scantron results are nice because they are fast, so people can find out results quickly, but they are also able to be verified against the physical record which is far more important.

The counterpoint would be to treat it like money: you don’t want to isolate a kid from it for 20 years and throw them in the ocean to learn to swim when they’re ready. Getting used to it and making mistakes while the amounts are small and reparable is a better way to make sure they don’t screw it when they’re “grown up” and supposed to be responsible.
This is one of the things I love about OCaml. Since answers are not a stackoverflow search away, it forces me to actually understand what I'm trying to do. Everything takes longer at first but I end up building a deeper understanding than if I was using JS or Python. It's something I could force myself to do in those two languages, but it's hard. Artificial limitations like not having that possibility in the first place can sound silly at first, but it's something that people use all the time. It's the idea of using a system instead of relying on willpower to force yourself to do the right thing and set yourself up for success.
There is still a great deal to be learned about plasma fluid dynamics. Probably the only good that will come out of all the work is a few generations of plasma fluid dynamicists. Pray they can find something else to do when the whole project finally fizzles out.
I love the idea of using a dice to randomize the tasks you choose! Does using a physical object to “ground” your productivity practice make it feel more “real”/tangible-feeling than, say, running an RNG program on your computer? I’d imagine it does, but I’m curious.
exit polling is a terrible way to verify or discredit election results. Counting paper on the other hand works pretty well.
There are many election contests showing consistent but wide disparity between absentee and in-person voting. Whether it is an issue remains elusive to this day.

Also, probably can do this nationwide if you sell election devices … nationwide.

> JTR and hashcat cover many hash brute-forcing patterns but I would bet money on neither of those ever cracking the above example if using more than a few words

That would depend upon the hash being attacked, and the willingness of an attacker to apply money to the problem.

This 8 GPU cracking rig: https://gist.github.com/epixoip/a83d38f412b4737e99bbef804a27...

Speeds along at, among others, 104.2 GH/s attacking Skype hashes, 200.1 GH/s attacking PostgreSQL's hashes, 414.4 GH/s attacking MySQL323 hashes (if those are even present in the wild anymore) and 334.0 GH/s attacking NTLM hashes. Two to Four hundred Giga hashes per second is a lot of trials, and one would necessarily need to had a number of words to make up for that performance.

> and if the hashing method used a combination of BCrypt+sha512crypt.

The 8GPU cluster states 105.7kH/s for bcrypt and 1168.6kH/s for sha512crypt. Fewer words would be needed to be secure /if/ those algorithms were used. But, as has been seen time and again, not all sites storing password hashes use the better hashes.
So the law requiring all carriers to connect calls, combined with the exception to stir/shaken given to small carriers is what's created a loop hole.

Monopoly laws force AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon to connect these calls from small carriers even if they know the caller id is spoofed.

The FCC hasn't just given them permission to block those calls, they have required it.
Ah, have to admit, this is a very good counter argument, calling chessbase's methods in to question. And it's surprising that chessbase does not always do the same analysis for each game, that its nodes aren't setup with the same set of chess engines (although, again, maybe most top chess engines suggest similar moves??). Hmm...

... also, not sure I agree with his opinion that for each move that is analyzed, LetsCheck will return 100% if any engine returns 100% (and there could be multiple computers that were used, each with different engines). The point of the analysis is to determine if a player is playing like a computer, and the user may himself have multiple chess engines open in order to confuse the cheat detection. But again, am not an expert at chess engines or statistics, so am not sure what effects checking multiple engines has...

... also, he says that "Ken Regan's scientifically valid method has exonerated Hans by saying his results do not show any statistically valid evidence of cheating." This is very confusing, because Chess.com post has basically said the opposite (maybe Ken Regan's analysis is referring to a different subset of games?). Guess nothing is definitive. But at this point, I still lean towards Hans cheating (on top of this analysis, there is also a lot of circumstantial things he did that to me indicate he might have cheated, which is too long a topic to go into).

The most obvious reason not involving automated systems is to create a repo’s initial ref. This can be useful on teams who are super strict about review process and git history.

Once you account for automated systems, many other reasons can arise. Not just the “trigger CI” case mentioned in another comment, triggering builds or processes based on remote content the code accesses, or generating something either random or seeded by the commit hash/timestamp/message/etc.

It can even be a Homer Simpson-style drinking bird button press, so finished software doesn’t get mistaken for abandoned.

Probably whole worlds of things I haven’t imagined because I don’t use git hooks or submodules.
Countries are occasionally associated with genders even in English (mother/father land etc). India is commonly referred to as her. Quick research into why:

You never get that with fiber optics to start with - total internal reflection implies the light is traveling a fairly complicated geometry anyway. To do a straight line path it wouldn't be a fiber cable, it would be a tube which you'd have to pressurize and then do a fair bit of work to try and keep from flexing out of alignment (although 3 reflections as opposed to hundreds of thousands probably helps).

I'd buy what you're saying if it was nearly anything but servers. It's still not proof, but either the DA is using the wrong word (quite plausible) or it's very fishy.

Because of various implantation details it's inconvenient and expensive to operate servers in China if you don't need to. Even the IoT crap I've bought to disassemble on AliExpress phoned home to us-east-1.
I strongly suspect you’ve never been on the end of an internet doxxing/hate brigade if you can’t imagine how this could be used to make someone’s life a living hell.

I’ll explain again that I think they can be used for bad actions, and also that they should still be released, because the benefits will outweigh the negatives. It does not hurt to admit that some things can be dangerous when used in nefarious ways. No one suggests we ban kitchen knives even though they are lethal, because their utility is massive, and outweighs their danger. In much the same way these models have extreme utility, that almost certainly outweighs their potential negatives.

I have seen plenty of land foolishly wasted on single-use solar farms. That does not make it smart. In the future those will find themselves undercut by dual-use farms that continue doing what they did before solar was added.

Rooftops will not be much that.

Deserts are a particularly dumb place for solar farms, but ignorant investors love the idea, so lots of money is wasted on them.

To simplify my setup I bought a Synology NAS, crammed disks into it, then setup a bunch of Docker instances on it.

I have game servers for the kids on it, plex, pihole, home assistant and a few others plus I keep adding to it.
I setup a static IP the otehr day and a cloudflare account to proxy things through it.
Later I plan on setting up a VPN service (probably Tailscale) and maybe look at the cloudflare zero trust setup.

I'm contemplating putting a mail server up as well.
all of this in docker instances on my NAS. its cheap effective, simple and damned effective for home use.
There is a good community about it and lots of online guides.

This way I dont have to worry/spend too much time on hardware and OS level stuff and can just setup docker apps for the new needs i have. it lets me play around while not burning too much home time while adding services and capability to my family.
Seriously.. look into it.

I didn't downvote, but honestly just don't understand your comment. I thought it was obvious but maybe I shouldn't have left it unsaid: South Africa has significantly better infrastructure than any other country in southern Africa. We're not talking a small difference. If you want to open a cloud region in southern Africa, I don't think you have any other choices.
Maybe working off an existing design is harder than greenfield?
Potential Funders of Elon Musk’s Twitter Buy Are Walking Away
I agree. Convincing fake content will eventually make us doubt our own history, let alone news media and current events. That concerns me, but I don’t think holding this tech back helps.

But those aren’t the issues they claim are concerning to them. It’s just stupid identity politics. They want their model to lie to us about the world and say things like everyone is equally likely to any attribute. They have a “reality” problem apparently.

> I am surprised there are so many listed on eBay.

I'm not. They make money from it, just like Amazon makes money from the counterfeiters, scammers, and fraudulent sellers. Google has plenty of ads for fake stamps if you search for stamps - they're about the only ones you'll find ads for.

Someone will write an article that gets traction talking about the vibrant market for fake stamps on eBay and Google, and they'll issue the Standard Tech Apology, "We are so, so sorry you caught us doing this and we will try harder to avoid you catching us doing it in the future," they'll clamp down for a few months, and then will quietly ignore the rise in the profitable listings again after the attention dies down.

People selling fake products are great ad buyers. They have to bid high enough to be placed ahead of "organic" results and legitimate stuff, and if they get caught, you can keep their money per the terms and agreements and such.

>What I am calling "slavery" for lack of a better word

Better terms: wages, low wages, very low wages, meager wages, near-subsistence (questionable) wages, deplorable wages, demeaning wages, developing nation wages, low-level manufacturing wages, etc.

Slavery has an actual meaning, which it is, from time to time, helpful to still be able to denote.
What about these edge case scenario.

My family member gets lost/confused/hurt whatever, and needs to borrow a strangers phone to call me to help them. I don't know that number and perhaps the family number has memorized my phone number since it hasn't changed in 20 years. Maybe they are a small child 5 years old.

How do they get thru this system?

The only thing I could think of is if they have an extra 'password code' (4-6+ digits) that they'd need to memorize in addition to the phone number?

Alternatively in this system, someone compromises your contactid. And a place that says they are calling your 'auto insurance contact' isnt actually your legit auto insurance contact but a scam auto insurance company? You'd need to be able to easily "reset" these values which could be a big burden on small businesses.

i think some logic design courses are like this. you're given a fpga dev board (that has a bunch of peripherals and ports on it) and you code up a cpu and a few memory/io controllers and then in order to do something you have to assemble some machine code and run it.

my understanding is that it is a substantial undertaking, especially if you're interfacing with hardware peripherals.

alternatively you could write a mips (subset) emulator and assembler in python and probably get the same understanding in a fraction of the time.

At the risk of falling into the age old Eternal September trap, I do feel like I've become significantly more disillusioned in the last year or so at the quality, or rather the lack thereof, of discourse on HN. It's as tribal as Reddit is, and not consistently higher quality discussion.

I think a significant factor, apart from generally worse infra and a smaller talent pool, would be the lack of a coastline. Basically all the long-distance capacity in Africa is in the form of submarine cables going around the coast. A landlocked country means you have to rely on terrestrial systems through at least one third country, introducing a whole range of new costs and risks, and probably makes it hard to get the desired level of control/ownership for the inter-region connectivity (cloud providers are often investing in submarine cable systems directly now).
I think 3D is going to be really important because I see Generative-AI as the killer app for VR/AR.

As it stands, it's very difficult to invest the budget for a dev studio (dozens of high skill people) to build a "VR movie" when the format is so unknown and unpopular. But with generative AI, an indie dev could create their own professionally produced virtual world movie. It's these creatives and risk takers that will find what types of things VR needs to become more popular.

Unless you have dominance assured contracts aka kickstarter, allowing for things to be paid for, produced and consumed, with no necessary relationship between payment and consumption.

The nice part about Germany is, that you don't pay any tuition fee there (except Baden-Württemberg). So doing a Master's there is a lot cheaper than in the US.

As for CS, it is possible to work there with a BA, but generally speaking, you will earn more money and have more job opportunities with a MA.
I have too. I didn’t mean to make it sound like it never works out. There are times when it does. It’s just that when approached by agencies a lot of them turn out to be flakes shopping around. Occasionally you’ll get a serious person on the other end.

We tend to eat up mechanistic reports that make us feel good about our preferred lifestyle, but in this topic you’d want to find experiments that increase alertness during IF (something that actually confirms an endpoint). Maybe they exist.

A classic example is the “antinutrients in plants” mechanistic fad while plants in a diet actually increase all health outcomes when put to the test.

Exercise causes a huge inflammatory response too. Thankfully we know better than to stop the analysis there.
You are right that we have a responsibility to be willing to risk another person’s feelings and our own social ostracism in order to speak the truth. I have failed in that responsibility before. I was motivated by seeking a guarantee that I would not harm the relationship. However, second-guessing people’s responses and speaking to protect other people’s egos led to the hell you describe.

Yet if I hear that someone “can’t take a joke”, I’d first wonder if they are jokes which demean the relationship between the listener and either the joker or the company.

I still think I have a responsibility to choose my words with care — care for the mutual trust and respect which constitute a healthy working relationship. The times when I failed to give someone clear constructive feedback, I failed to respect the other person’s emotional maturity. The times when I failed to speak an unpleasant truth directly, I failed to equip them with the knowledge to be trustworthy. The times when I failed to risk escalating a conflict, I failed to defend the constitution of the relationship.

Hah, +1 for HN users who attended that course in 2009 here. (I usually post on a pseudonymous account though.) I surely must know you, though I couldn't tell who you are from very briefly stalking your comments!

While we're reminiscing, I imagine you also took Concepts in Programming Languages in second year (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1011/ConceptsPL/ ?), which (after a tour de force through all sorts of paradigms that were consigned to the fossil record for the time being) did advertise Scala pretty heavily. I found that course to be a true gem and haven't seen anything like it at any of the other universities I've passed through since then.
