To prevent any further "misunderstandings" anyone entering or leaving the embassy or consulate(s) will need to be stopped by police, have the possibility of violence explained to them and be asked to confirm they're not being held against their will.

This will obviously be very embarrassing for the PRC, but it's unfortunate matter of public safety.
> The only somewhat free place I've seen is 4Chan but it contains so much toxicity, that's its barely bearable.

I’d argue that every place that allows every kind of speech without restriction will eventually degenerate into a cesspit. You lose the reasonable people quickly because they don’t want to deal with the toxicity and it’s all downhill from there.

> The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

This is not a particularly accurate representation.

It's a game theoretical problem. Because of the huge delay in communication over interstellar distances, you can not adequately communicate with other in diplomatic terms.

due to the speed of light limitation, if you contact another civilization to e.g. propose to establish diplomatic relations, you will only find out if they sent a big ass rocket as a reply in about the same time it would take to receive a message as an answer.

Making certain assumptions about the technology available, like: No instant communication possible, solar system or at least planet destroying weapons possible, etc., then in purely game theoretical terms if a civilization seeks to minimize the chance of being destroyed, it then becomes a good strategy for a civilization to hide and not reveal themselves, and immediately attack and destroy any civilization that should make the mistake to reveal themselves by e.g. sending out a message. thus giving them no chance to harm you before they are destroyed themselves.

it's only a hypothesis, and even at a superficial glance there are alternative strategies that might end up being better on average, much better if each civilization is willing to take some risk, etc.

I don't advocate people use Copilot for anything but hobby toy projects.

I have lower expectations of the rigor with which companies police their internal codebases, though. Seeing Copilot banned for internal use too is a pleasant surprise. Companies tend to be a lot more "liberal" in what kind of legal liabilities they accept for their internal tooling in my experience.
That's interesting. Is it still that the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) is the prevailing activation function in deep neural networks, because of the the vanishing gradients with activation functions like tanh? If so the conclusions from the paper would apply to a very wide range of deep neural networks.

Nice strawman you got there.

It's not like the only way to contribute is by solving the problem in its entirety. I'm just saying that nothing improves if people stop at the criticism.

> This is a project dating back to 2006 (...) even a layman with no subject knowledge whatsoever can point out its not good enough.

Put another way, you can say that this is a project that failed to attract people who are interested in contributing. It's not bad because lots of people are working on it and "bad content". It's bad for lack of input. Criticizing for lack of adoption is what feels weird.
Multi-factor authentication which resides on the same device, eg. the mobile banking app authenticating with an SMS to the same phone it is running on.

In a related question, I've always wondered how Mosquitoes survive winters. Where I live the winters are very cold, with entire months deep in the negatives. All water freezes.

Would entering a state of torpor be a sufficient explanation for surviving winter? Would they need some other mechanism for surviving frost?
Far more insane than either.
> The first was unheralded, but for the second, first there was gunfire - I grabbed the camera and went to the window

I always remember this from my first hostile environment course. Top things not to do when you hear gunfire or explosions -- run to the nearest glass pane and look to see if you can see what's going on.

It's a natural reaction, but that window (and indeed wall) offers no protection from bullets, and an explosion can easily blow out a window and flying glass is not a good thing to be standing besides.

>Furthermore, the European youth, especially in Italy, are more likely to live at home for many more years. That probably limits illegal drug use.

I don't think so, in the sense that while technically living at home, it is not like in Italy young people are not usually completely free to do whatever they want, in theory I would hypothetically link a bigger drug consumption to unemployment and poverty, but given the much higher unemployment rate (and high percentage of people living near or under the poverty line) in Italy when compared to the US, this seems a false link.

I believe there is something more "cultural" about this, and somehow it is changing (for the worse) in latest years, besides drugs even excessive drinking, that appears to be common in the US, used to be rare here in Italy, now it has necome more common.

> What do we lose and what do we gain?

I think there can only be loss or at best parity.

The problem I see are faulty or simplistic assumptions being made by the translators and subsequent loss of information in the archive when the originals are discarded.

A new format may allow faithful reproduction of primary intention but disregard others. An obvious example is metadata. For example with photo or video, loss of information on things such as exposure, lens type not to mention camera model/make can be devastating to some uses of the file. Esoterica that "can't possible be useful" can actually be critical to some.

Of course, it is fine to apply some destructive translation in a transient manner, such as your example of consumption by an output device. The problem is assuming there is exactly one type of output "device".
There's a lot more variance in pure functionality between weather apps than between flashlight apps.

Flashlight is literally 1 bit of information (on/off) and after that you can only add more sophisticated triggers (gestures, timers, etc.), which is why native OS functionality typically makes apps completely obsolete.

Weather data is a lot bigger: not only are there are a handful of different providers, but you could spend a lifetime optimizing the presentation of the data on a 6" screen (let alone a widget or notification). You can't possibly fit in all the relevant numbers so you have a lot of room for UX design work.
I would have a very difficult time coming up with an actionable policy where the objective, implementation and side-effects could all be modeled to a point where the policy in its entirety could be described as based on objective truth.

Ledgers, blockchain, distributed systems, etc prexisted, long before web 3.0 and cryptocurrencies. Those are not disruptive technologies and they don't offer anything new, neither they solve any new problems.

Bitcoin on the other hand, as it was presented by Satoshi Nakamoto whitepaper, is the disruptive technology. Took existing technologies and combine them in a way making something unique. It is not a currency, it is a platform of trust. For the first time in human history there is a tool that enables online exchange of value, which is peer-to-peer, permissionless, censorship resistant, borderless, neutral and open.

The rest of the applications that are built on this idea may be "useless" as the author believes, maybe not. I don't know that and I don't think anyone can be sure.

When the current financial system is a fraud and rigged the only bad thing that web 3.0 and cryptocurrencies could do is not making it better.

> Laws are just codified version of ethics.

And a quite reasonable code of ethics is thst people do not have absolute, complete control over their intellectual property, and instead only have the ability to control it in certain circumstances.

Things like fair use, which makes this legal, exists for many very good reasons.

So yes, the code of ethics that society has decided on, includes perfectly reasonable exception, such as fair use, and it is your problem, not ours, that you have some ridiculous idea that people should have complete, 100% authoritarian control over their IP.

And no, people not having infinite control over IP, does not allow you to extend this reasonable exception, to you being able to do literally anything to other people's IP.
Then he contradicts it somewhat later by saying unit tests are the least important. I think he’s dead wrong there.
Feeds suck, sure, but there's really no censorship for anything about communism etc short of calling for violence against wealthy people.

Facebook is less "free" in that regard since they won't allow "all men are trash", which Twitter would only go after if you qualify it with a race that is considered 'protected', and Reddit would probably ignore completely (but "local" mods might not, which makes Reddit take a special role there).

Seinfeld isn’t lowest common denominator, it’s situational comedy. The genius is almost every human can relate to the jokes but they’re executed at a high level of talent so it’s all elevated. Jokes don’t need to be dark or complex to be “good”. If anything people overly complicate jokes to obfuscate how bad the joke actually is.

I think what you’re describing is anything done my Seth McFarlane, who probably perfected crude “lowest denominator” humor tbh.
My experience is that you need to plan for retries at the system level anyway (above application; think “dead letter queue processing” or equivalent).

When you don’t (as we sometimes haven’t), you end up with people having to write scripts or perform manual actions to poorly approximate what the system should have done, often with thousands of orders (or whatever entity matters to your company) in a limbo state.

In ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’ there is a point where the author, who is suffering locked-in syndrome after a stroke, is communicating by having the letters of the alphabet shown to him one at a time, with him choosing by making the one small gesture he is capable of. Morse code could be much more efficient here, and perhaps more efficient than a binary-search version of the alphabet method.
Since OCSP fails open and response stapling is still only deployed on a minority of servers, it doesn’t provide much of a guarantee…
Somewhat. There's a skill to the timing that needs to be picked up in addition to the patterns you learn when learning to copy. Ideally, you're also practicing sending with some kind of local oscillator or your radio set to monitor mode. One reinforces the other.

Show HN: Tiny:optional – a C++ optional that does not waste memory
tiny::optional is a header-only C++ library for x86/x64 intended to be a drop-in replacement for std::optional with the twist that it does not require additional memory for bools, floats, doubles and raw pointers. For example, a standard optional double has twice the size of a raw double because of 7 padding bytes after the internal bool. These wasted bytes can have a notable impact on performance in memory bound applications. On the other hand, a tiny::optional double has the size of a double by exploiting unused bit patterns.

For other types such as integers, it allows to specify a "sentinel" value that represents the empty state, again causing the optional to have the same size as the underlying type.

Real-World Engineering Challenges: Migrations
Definitely feel that if the training is required for the job it's on the employeer to freely provide it.

If you want a forklift driver and you hire somebody that doesn't know how to then you're on the hook to train them. If you're worried they'll just turn around and quit either don't hire somebody without the training. If said forklift driver wants to go back to college and say learn electrical engineering I think the employeer could add stipulations on that.

Charging them for training you didn't actually provide is a bit ridiculous. Too bad the case only got dismissed and nothing punitive.
Reappraising Role of ‘Zombie’ Cells Anti-Aging Medicine Has Sought to Eliminate
I once worked on a large app that had always tried to support translation, but that had never actually been used by clients (after more than a decade running in production) in a language other than English. Well, what do you know, after all those years, finally a big client signed on, and this client needed the whole UI not in English.

Trouble was, in practice there were gaps in the translation support all over the place, and so several rounds of patching those gaps and performing manual testing were needed, which took a lot of time and manpower. So, was it worth half-maintaining the translation support for so many years? I guess it would have been even more work had it needed to be added from scratch; but it was still a lot of work cleaning it up.

Ironically, the client in question then cancelled on us, shortly before going live, and after we'd finished all that work. Although another non-English client did go live with us the year after that, so it wasn't wasted effort in the end.

Ask HN: How relevant are network trust class., logical SEC. models, zoning/segm?
For quite a few years I have been using a very robust and detailed framework in support of infrastructure security and inter-communication, especially in the space of networking, following the model:

- network trust classification (e.g. untrusted, semi-trusted, trusted, secure, mgmt, etc.)

- logical network security models

- network security zone matrix definitions ( ("who and how is allowed to talk to whom")

- subnetworks/detailed security segregation (of the above),

which I then translated in security architectures, solutions, product choices and placement, security controls definitions and rules for such, but I am wondering how relevant and useful (effort to security posture increase worthiness) this structured and fairly complicated approach still is, in the world of "all in the cloud", IaaS, PaaS, w/containers & VMs w/policy based InfraAsCode.
The article focuses on Bitcoin, Proof of Work, hyped statements like houses-on-the-blockchain, and Ponzi schemes like Bitconnect, which is to say that it isn't focusing on any of today's Web3 tools or products, and especially is not focusing on the successful protocols coming out of Web3.

If you or the author feels that Uniswap, DAI, ENS, and AAVE are scams, try to provide some rationale for this claim. Otherwise these sweeping statements are just as hollow as saying that SMPT is a Great Con based on the notion that 85% of today's circulating email is illegitimate.
Similar, yes, but (I might be wrong here) the severity in log4j stems from the fact that interpolation was happening on a logged string, and most users did expect this to be passed through unmodified (i.e. param1 in log.info(param1)).

Here, the interpolation happens on a string that is expected to be a template (it's even documented that way), so users would usually be cautious where the template originates from. Recursive interpolation also needs to be enabled explicitly.
Sure, but if memory serves me correctly, many early workstations used a microprocessor with an external MMU. It is misleading in the sense that it is not part of the Z80, but it is in the character of the times. (And MMUs are not the only CPU feature that was originally external. The FPU is an example that more people will be familiar with since it was an upgrade path available on many personal computers.)
> I’m personally spending a lot of time chatting with developers, copyright experts, and community stakeholders to understand the most responsible way to leverage LLMs.

This claim rings extremely hollow when your team refuses to do any of the obvious things that developers, experts and community stakeholders in this very thread (and the rest of this website) are telling you. You still haven't open-sourced Copilot. You still haven't trained it on Microsoft internal code such as Windows and Office. You still haven't made the model freely available for anyone to run locally. Until you do any of these things, you are not acting in the interest of the community and you are just exploiting people and their code for your own profit.
