That's incomplete, to some extent.

The Daubert standard says the judge is a gatekeeper who can rule that a given expert's opinion will not be presented to the jury unless the expert's opinions are relevant, reliable, and based in scientific knowledge.

War only happens because of a failure of diplomacy.
AIs, Photoshop, pen and paper are just tools that are handled by people, you can't preemptively prevent people from doing illegal things.
It doesn't though, it's perfectly in line with their past behavior
but what a list of failures it is... caused millions of deaths directly and indirectly, destabilized whole parts of the world for centuries, and NO obvious success to boast about and justify all that mayhem and making sworn enemies for life instead of very good friends who share all major values with US (ie whole Iran affair is CIA and MI6 clusterfuck par excellence).

I don't credit CIA with any major influence on Soviet Union collapse for example, although I grok very well why they would like to promote that emotion and feel the same. It was just a forceful amalgam of nations, not unlike Yugoslavia but much worse, without any real merging happening over decades, and once distinct parts realized the grip is not anymore so strong they went their own ways (given what people like Stalin did to many ethnicities in USSR they are hardly to blame... I mean who wants to be willingly with Russians in one state)
It is not my analysis. Every damn research paper shows that the unvaccinated are hospitalized and dying at rates many multiples higher than the vaccinated.

As for the sin of being fat that you find so unforgivable, if the goal is to reduce hospitalization and death, that is going to be infinitely easier to accomplish through vaccination than by trying to convince the country to get fit.
same here. Not just the names, but IMO even the storylines get pretty convoluted by the second book. Game of thrones number of story branches, but French New Wave thickness of plots.
Nobody reads the spec though.

I recall a bit of drama in Linux land was when ext4 broke the "write temp file + rename over old one" classic technique for safely rewriting config files. People ended up with data loss and were outraged. ext4 devs said "But POSIX never actually promised this! Doing things our way is much better performance. Add extra fsyncs to actually get things to stick".

The result as I recall was a lot of drama back and forth.
How do you handle updates? Do you download the new version from the official site from time to time and replace the old one? I know Firefox can "auto-update" itself but I guess it won't (or shouldn't) be allowed to modify things under "/opt" when running as a user process.
Honestly, it described me more accurately than I possibly could (based on a Reddit username)
Yes, this is true.

If we knew that this pandemic came from a lab, that would have massive implications for how tightly we control this type of lab research - both in terms of whether we do the gof research, and also in how we run and regulate the labs. Surely you can imagine the reaction if, hypothetically, the world knew that this coronavirus was made in a lab and then escaped?

I'm amazed that you think otherwise - it's one of the nice things about hn that I occasionally encounter views that are so different from my own.
Same with some of the City Skylines Youtubers ... I barely can get a functioning traffic network running (without despawning of vehicles) and then there are those who spend ages placing little bushes along the highways because it looks nicer.
If they have children, then in a divorce, in 95% of the cases, they do not get custody. They see their children 2 weekends (4 days) per month instead of every day. This is the single reason that I never had kids. This would kill me.

Courts almost never award custody to the man, no matter what.

Plus, the man has to pay alimony for life, and child support for only 4 days per month for the money. The kicker is that the women does NOT have to spend child support on the child. She can spend most or all of it on herself if she wishes, as long as she feeds the kid peanut butter and jelly every day, gets them to school, and doesn't physically abuse them, then she gets to spend all the child support on shoes, trips, whatever she wishes. IF SHE WANTS TO DO THAT. Not saying all women do that.

So, that's why married men don't want children.
I think the notion of enclosed area without any traffic that is not local just works at any scale. In US, there's (very rarely) courtyard housing. Where I grew up, it looks like this: https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=38aa3a47-56e0-4667-a6b1-3ebed... (somehow on Google maps the setting to disable labels is not preserved in the link). These buildings are 17 stories tall and while you can drive inside the squares there's absolutely no reason to, unless you live there, and you can probably go 10 mph/15 kph if that. So, it's basically a little enclosed park for each giant building, occasionally with some services.

These days, I have become enlightened and actually prefer car-centric living - in North America, but also in Western Europe from my impressions as a tourist, dense car-free areas only have any advantages whatsoever for drunk people and kids; but if I were to live in a dense place I feel like some variation of this design, with "local" space that is intentionally separated, is far superior to the kind you get in e.g. London/Munich where "local" space seems to simply be a path to get to the subway, or e.g. Vancouver (where I did live) where there simply isn't any.
No. This war is different. It is a genocidal, expansionist invasion from the last old-school, colonialist empire in Europe, and it has the potential to end our current era of peace.

I have no doubt that very similar arguments were made for every single involvement of the US in other countries politics.

"If we don't stop [insert country] from doing [insert action] then we're not only risking the security of the US, but also regional and global stability."

Rinse and repeat.

And hey, it might be a worthy cause for the US to get involved. Or we may fuck it up entirely and make the situation far worse than if we had just stayed out.
That's not really something I'd consider to be a perk of that office...
The Secret Art of Storytelling in Programming
> It's an order of magnitude less effort and risk

For the developer, yeah, not for the user though. But "least-effort development" is not generally that meritorious, especially in this area, and arguably a large part of TS's value proposition is about "less effort and less risk" for the user!

For the user this means more effort and more risk if you consider that you've just multiplied your attack surface by combining internal, privileged access to your network (often without any firewalls or per-device authentication) with whatever other skimpy services you use the credentials for. I know we're all supposed to expect zero trust these days and have all these well-designed enterprise IdP systems in place but the reality is starkly different, especially in the SMB space.

I know that there are a lot of things you can do wrong with auth but a company capable of developing something as complex as a zero-config modern mesh VPN should be able to handle rolling their own auth, come on.

And by the way, it's not like they get the third-party SSO right either: Every time we log into the admin panel with our 3rd party (Microsoft/Github/Google) account, we are asked to re-authorize Tailscale ("Tailscale by Tailscale wants to access your data...").

In short, they could really throw some developer hours at this and polish it a bit, roll their own auth (again, can be a tertiary beta option with warning labels at first) etc. This would also leave a good first impression with first time and trial users, and, most importantly, give users an informed choice to leverage the solution that they consider the least effort and least risk for their use case.
From the article:

I’ve shown how this vulnerability in XKCP can be used to violate the cryptographic properties of the hash function to create preimages, second preimages, and collisions. Moreover, I’ve also shown how a specially constructed file can result in arbitrary code execution, and the vulnerability can also impact signature verification algorithms such as Ed448 that require the use of SHA-3. The details of these attacks will be made public at a later date.
> Former President Truman, whose Administration established the C.I.A. in 1947, said in 1963 that by then he saw “something about the way the C.I.A. has been functioning that is casting a shadow over our historic positions, and I feel that we need to correct it.”

> And President Kennedy, as the enormity of the Bay of Pigs disaster came home to him, said to one of the highest officials of his Administration that he “wanted to splinter the C.I.A. in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”
What, the anal beads is not a sensible theory? /s
That's a fair criticism. My idea of good is not defined, or static - it adapts over time to the norms and values of society.

Perhaps something like the OpenAI approach to their GPT-3 deal with Microsoft is better. That is, if the work Microsoft do with GPT-3 goes in a direction OpenAI doesn't like, OpenAI reserves the right to veto the work [1].

I suspect it’ll go down the toilet again the moment China kicks off at Taiwan properly. Not because TSMC but sanctions and supply chain issues.
Is this a world record for proven genealogy? I read somewhere that the British monarchy held the record tracing back to mid-Saxon times. This blows that out of the water by about 600 years.
Well, seeing some new color for the first time will cause some sensory input signals to become active which have never been active before, and that will cause some neurons patterns to emerge which have not been there yet, and this will surely have influence, e.g. synaptic plasticity, i.e. in other words the brain has learned.

But then, the brain also learns basically all the time. It's constantly changing. It is not something static.

But is that really the question?
One of the former directors of the CIA, Leon Penetta, made the observation the higher up the tree you go the more nuts fall on your head.

Wow three years is measurable time!
I find myself forgetting about using a checklist when times change (more researchy times, etc...) and then not coming back to them in a while.
>Mr. Xi’s ambition, according to China’s most recent defense white paper, is to complete a modernization of the military by 2035 and turn it into a “world-class force” by 2049, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

With the speed of advancement in PLA rocketry and pursuing their version of prompt global strike, the timeline for PRC acquiring capabilities to negate US supremacy may be much shorter - PRC doesn't need to catch up with the US overall to successfully counter her.

IMO western analysis/MSM gets fixated/distracted by these white paper milestones for when PLA thinks they'll be a sufficiently modern/joint force across all domains, or when they'll reach parity with US in broad-spectrum capabilities (what world-class entails). 2035 is about basic modernization - develop + acquire some new hardware, get trained on them, integrate into new warfare concepts, improve jointness etc. 2049 is about acquiring major platforms in numbers to rival the US. But these are both relatively slow processes - building 10 carrier groups and crewing them takes a while even at PRC speed.

But standing up enough missile brigades protected in hardened bunkers that can destroy any US capital asset worldwide (including CONUS) that are fixed for at least 30 minutes? That can be done much faster. And by all accounts PLARocketForce has been growing rapidly in the last few years, with accompanying R&D news hinting at goals past PGS accompanied by 100+ tests per year (stupid amount).

ULtimately, PGS is not enough to enable PRC to do what she wants to do (take TW), but IMO it's sufficient to deter/counter US from doing or succeeding in what PRC doesn't want US to do (intervene on TW). Arguably the most important current consideration for PRC.

I don't think the problem is the part locking and phone home. Is what that tech is being used for. Right now you are not able to buy a defective iPhone from a willing seller to salvage some of its parts into your phone, even if the phone you bought was not reported as stolen. They have the tech, and they chose to use it for control and profit.
I think it's more an argument about how to refactor from one to the other. If you think of the current state of US vs European cities, you can think of it it as a long series of decisions in a tree, where largely EU has taken one path, and US has taken quite another divergent path.

It's somewhat obvious how to go from village, to hamlet, to town, to city with horses, to city with trams, to cities with a modern multi-facted public transit system. It's also pretty obvious how to go from horses to car dependent hellscape. It's not quite so obvious how to go from an extremely car-dependent hellscape like Houston or Atlanta or LA, to a walkable and bikable city with a modern public transit system like Amsterdam or London or Berlin.

I'm kind of overselling the thesis here some, because from one perspective, the Netherlands did go from quite car dependent to its current state in the past 50 years...on the other, the Atlanta and Houston metros each have 1/3 the population of the entire Netherlands and LA has 2/3.

Anyway, point being, the disbelief is in refactoring from Houston/Atlanta/LA to non-car designed cities, not so much in understanding how they can exist in the first place.
Yes. Also it's written in Objective-C and uses AppKit, CoreGraphics and QuartzCore.

If only it were that easy to do, and to enforce. Good on them for trying though - at the least it kicks off an interesting debate.
I never had children because if I got divorced, I would go from seeing them every day, to only 2 weekends (4 days) per month. I've always known that it would kill me if that happened, and the solitary only way to prevent that is to not have children. I'm not upset at not having children, but I would be unconsolable if I had them but only then got to see them 4 days a month. And, what if the ex-wife took all the other 26 days to turn the kids against me and they didn't want to see me ever? Or if they had to, hated every minute of it. Just no. No. Not going to play that game.

So I opted never to get married and not to have kids and wow, you should see my bank account.
Why not create a browser extension that adds the header?

If it's successfully adopted then surely browsers could implement it natively and there would be already support from existing websites.

Not sure about a 0-1 scale though. Seems like a confusing setting for user.
Small teams can be super productive, but unless the people in it are there for the full run of a product, you'll end up with a problem; taking over the work for one developer will take more than one developer.

I'm sure - but haven't witnessed this myself yet, so take it with a grain of salt - that if one productive developer builds an application in a year, it needs a team of 5-10 to continue development at a similar level, and even then it may not make it.

Companies need to focus on keeping software as simple as possible, well documented, and transferable. Unfortunately this also means curbing people's enthousiasm.
Yes, basically exactly what I came here to say.
This is pretty cool. I hope the 30x0 cards come even more down in price once new AMD cards show up. In other news, did no one noticed USD is now worth more than one EUR? For us in EU this sucks because adding our ~20% vat on top of prices (plus whatever local sellers feel they can get away with) the prices still feel too high for many people.

I worry the trend mentioned in the article doesn't reflect better supply, but lower demand due to incoming recession.
> They cost >2x the Meross ones. Got 2. They work so far. Crossing my fingers they're legit, though my guess is they won't last.

FYI - there are plenty of cheap Tuya devices[0] that can be flashed with alternative firmware[1] which works locally. More generically, there a lot of ESP32-based switches that work with Tasmota open-source firmware[2]. There breadth of devices is annoying because it makes configuration difficult since manufacturer wire up the relays differently, so it took me trial and error to figure out which device/"port" the firmware needs to toggle to turn the switch on or off

0. Any device that requires installation of a phone app named "Smart Life" or "Tuya Smart".

Brewing Microservices – Property-Based Testing
Plot twist at the end there, as the author of the article is themselves a prince of the family of living descendants of Mark Anthony. Although he's pretty humble about it before breaking the news it did make me double take.

To me the amazing thing is that they managed to hold on to both power and money for so long. It took 1800 years for them to lose power, and 200 years later they're still sending their princes to Princeton.

edit: sorry Princeton highschool, I've got to hand it to them that this high school essay is more well written and polished than anything I ever handed in..
Perhaps, but why would banning taxis(and cars in general) necessarily be one of those requirements? Seems to me a better and more pragmatic way is to dedicate more resources to electrifying the transports and banning the use of fossil fuels as soon as possible.

I believe that for a modern society to function a point to point family sized vehicle is required somewhere there in the mix.

Interestingly it's the same with attribution requirements for art, but since it's not written words, nobody can claim: "this part is exactly my GPL code".
But with art it's "this is exactly how I do texture on metal", "this is exactly how I paint steampunk greeble", "this is how I do clouds" etc.

Sounds like an excuse to not get involved in something because our pattern of fucking things up.

Inaction can mean things go sideway for us just as much as action does.
Eh, just slap blank beige walls everywhere and the peeps are happy. Obviously the game can't be expected to rate aesthetics, but the excitement of making a nice park is a bit lessened when you know that a beige solid wall would have done the same job.

Another thing I really don't like about Parkitect is that the physics feel too slow. The coasters don't have the same sense of speed as in Planet Coaster or RCT1 and I think a big part of the reason is the oversized peeps. Which is a shame, because regardless of what I said above, I actually like Parkitect's scenery and ride building the best.
I think camp Carlsen played this hand incredibly poorly the more I think about it. If Carlsen thought Niemann was cheating, the only correct way to proceed would have been to silently alert FIDE, to silently investigate Niemann. Instead Carlsen went to the public, crying on Twitter like a regular Elonye West. That is indicative of a person being mad, imo. But, that’s just speculation, it’s not helpful.

Niemann will be scrutinized for the rest of his career, especially if the court case proves inconclusive.

I hope the court case finds the truth, whatever it may be, and that Niemann is given the chance in competitive play to challenge the accusation that he is a cheater. I mean if he’s a cheater, won’t it be obvious with everybody watching now? What is there to lose?

Furthermore, Chess stands to lose its luster and appeal if this is how its prodigies behave. In a game that computer science has utterly solved at this point.
Yes, the unintended side effects of HESSLA (sibling comment) were a surprise for me to read about.

> On March 26th, 2012, an anonymous 4chan user started a thread in the /v/ (video games) board, which included several screen captures from the amusement park management simulation game Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. The images showed a 30,696 foot roller coaster track with 38 riders that took four years of in-game time to complete. The original poster (OP) provided greentext descriptions of the images, explaining that passengers were constantly yelling “I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.” After the coaster ended, the passengers walked down a large path leading to another entrance to the ride, where they were greeted by an installation of a skeleton with a top hat and a sign reading “The ride never ends.”

He wrote both before there was general public awareness that a thing called chaos existed.

True, Poincaré had already worked out that gravity was chaotic. But Asimov was a chemist and so was unlikely to be familiar with that work.
My non-professional yet solicited perspective is such:

Quantum computing is in a dark yet interesting hole.

Technologically a substantial line of intrigue, yet little immediate practical benefit.

One fascinating development is regarding feasibility of “hard problems”. Many proposed milestones of what quantum computation may solve have been revealed (even by high school amateurs) as room for re-evaluating age old algorithmic conjectures. These in which classical systems are just as effective if we re-evaluate how we look at the problem.

The actual technology of perturbing and perceiving the quantum dynamic is where most of our modern gain may be appreciated (on a physics level rather than one of comp-sci.)

I personally believe the qubit is a dead end. There is more information in the quantum domain than spin duality. There is an analog amplitude which has yet to be cracked. Quantum holography for instance may reveal this true potential in time (decades from now). The quantum domain may be treated as a sieve such that hard problems like hash collisions may be deduced as though spacial distributions of hyper dimensional snowflakes [mental imagery]. In this sieve information may be pushed into and pulled from a scope of singularity such that problems may be solve non-linearly (more like chemical reactions than branch conditions.) this will require more re-evaluation of how we see the problem (which is good for us, assuming we don’t let AI solve everything for us.)

By these considerations, for the time being, there isn’t much to do outside of the realm of physics.
I didn't know about that practice but it makes sense - because we all know, data travels fastest when it uses airplanes.

Kidding aside, you might be right, but then I suppose it's likely that datacenters themselves tried to use the same trick to sound less provincial.
