I use https://selfcontrolapp.com/ to block websites that offer a quick dopamine hit, like HN. I put my phone in do-not-disturb mode. I block focus time on Google Calendar and set myself to be DND on Slack during that time.

Jira actually helps, but I set some time aside to organize it, typically when I know I can be interrupted because it doesn't require much focus. Split every task into multiple subtasks. This makes your progress more visible and projects less daunting.

Keep a physical notebook by your desk. I've tried alternatives but they're too easy to tinker with and therefore, too distracting. At a minimum you need to offload things you would store in your memory onto something, and the easier and faster that is to do, the better.
What dows generating preimages mean here? The preimage is the set of all messages that hash to some set of hashes. Is the author saying the the hash function is reversible in reasonable time?
"the central claim is that 5 potential restriction binding sites versus 2 means that SARS-CoV2 is non natural"

That claim is not in the paper at all. The argument is based on the length of longest fragment and could apply to any number of restriction binding sites.

"the evidence for the wet market origin is trivialized."

It's a statistical analysis of viral genomes. The wet market evidence is unrelated.

Your third point is arguing in favor of ignorance and defeatism. "there is no clear and obvious way of systematically reducing risk" because we do not understand the origin. If we did, there may very well be; e.g. restrict trade in civet cats. Simple actions like this have controlled pandemics in the past.
AFAIK, they've publicly said they don't enforce any of the limits, at this time, because it's not worth it to do the engineering yet, and might never be worth it.
It doesn't matter. Nobody outright said that Hans cheated in the match (except for Hikaru, but that's commentary on youtube. He has the right to say that.)

There's no basis to sue Chess.com. Their report is their stance. They sponsor online games and run their own platform, so they can remove Hans if they please. Magnus specifically didn't call Hans a cheater, he just said that he believes that he has cheated more that Hans admitted. Libel starts at "you are" not "I believe".

There was a lot of pilling-on on the internet, but that's the nature of the internet. You can't sue the internet.
Ulgh, knowing the polygraph is a lie is actually a huge hazard for you.

I once had to take a polygraph test, and I was freaking the fuck out because I knew being nervous will register me as a liar, and I wasn't actually lying at all. I tried my best to stay calm, but I was freaking out during the test, and I actually did fail the polygraph, but passed after a retest.

It's such bullshit. I wish they got rid of this bullshit technology from this earth, because I had so much on the line and I was absolutely miserable before and during the test.
Chat control absolutely flies against everything the EU has done to improve digital privacy, even its own (big) members are against it.

It feels its not the normal people who made the GDPR and DMA are the ones writing this, rather Secret agencies pushing for more surveillance.
It's about 40 to 50% on any given year. Fatal accidents very often involve alcohol and speeding and only a single vehicle. When it's not alcohol, it's usually youth, and as you point out that's reflected as the general inexperience of any driver with a new vehicle type.

Is the boilerplate for epoll across ten threads listening for incoming HTTP requests non-trivial? It sure is!

Should the first person who wrote that code in C get to claim ownership over anything that is substantially similar?

According to the courts in the US, the answer is “No”, and thank goodness for that!
> There is a fundamental difference between "we have assessed the risk and here it is below some threshold where we are confident that no further safety measures are required" and "this place is safe, no accidents can happen here."

But that is not what was asked in the comment. What was asked is how you know if something is unsafe.

> A lockout would have done nothing.

You state that very confidently. Do you have insider information you are privy to?

Computers controling valves can go bad. Valves can stuck open or closed. Open wider than they were meant to. Open faster than they meant to. You take a diagram of the aparatus and go through all the possible way a valve can misbehave on all possible computer controlled valves and ask: “what would be the consequence of that?” You realise that there is a possibility that a system in question goes rapidly to a high pressure state. You then ask what harm that might cause? You realise that it might blow parts of. Or at least you are not confident that it can’t. So you ask an engineer what is their mitigation for that. If they say “oh we just know it is dangerous, we would never stand by the pipes when the test is running” then you ask them to employ a lockout system.

Look. I don’t know anything more about the test they were running than what is written in the article. You are assuming that he was in a safe place, but suddenly it was not a safe place anymore. How does that happen in your opinion? Did the pressure just suddenly teleport in? It is a ton of work to validate control software. Much easier to just stand in a place where even if the controls go haywire you will be okay.

I’m reading the same sentence differently from you. To me it means that he shouldn’t have been there during a test. (And also the test shouldn’t have blown up the valve.)
Gubsheep's talk last week wildly changed my perspective on zk-crypto. Basically he frames zk-circuits as an "expressive language for claims". For example, while you can come up with custom crypto schemes for claims like "I know a private key that belongs to Alice's public key", RSA and ECDSA both do this, but using zk-circiuts you can easily make much more complex claims. The example he gives later is "I know a private key corresponding to Alice, Bob or Charlie's public keys, and the other two can (or maybe can't) prove that they did NOT generate this message." So, using these tools, you as a programmer can build up complex cryptographic machinery claiming all sorts of wild things without needing a cryptographer standing over your shoulder.

Circom (https://github.com/iden3/circom) has already been used to build several cutting edge privacy tools, such as Tornado Cash, zero knowledge gaming platforms, like the "Dark Forest" game that Gubsheep works on, and lots of really interesting private voting platforms with various properties. The possibilities in this space are truly mind bending.

When discussing legal matters, please avoid making statements like this:

"What I gave is pragmatic advise for a normal person in general situations."

Avoid purporting to give people legal advice if you are not a subject matter expert.

If you want to discuss your own personal experiences, by all means you're welcome to do so and there's nothing wrong with that. In that case avoid making factual or categorical claims that could mislead people and certainly don't do so with the notion that you're giving people advice on the matter.

When you say something can never happen that's a factual legal claim that is false when in fact it happens all the time. Perhaps in your specific circumstances that was the correct course of action, but that does not mean that this is a legal principle that can be generalized and from which you can advise others on.
I guess we’re heading in that direction.
Every year like clockwork they try this shit.

I worry that at some point people will grow too weary to nip it in the bud.

>Cuecats were cool. The people who made them were assholes.

Thanks @doctorow

Look, we created it because barcodes had URLs below them on packaged goods that were generic. Google had a fresh “links in” algorithm that they were figuring out. We had the first concept of location or demographic based results for media and products.

Your :CC ID was used to see who the best distribution channels were. The software ID held your profile and zip code so someone swiping a Coke can in Dallas would see a Six Flags promotion, someone in Atlanta would get SeaWorld + Coke offers.

The light DMCA approved ROT 64 output scrambling was to prevent OS or browsers from natively decoding the scans, as we wanted to run the ONS (object naming service) and provide truly valuable links. How many QR codes go to 404 links today? Our magic from 1997 was dynamic in multiple ways.

Alas, the USB and portable devices shipped as the dot-bomb era encroached and our open plug-in framework gets forgotten by the researchers.

I’m proud of what the 300+ team built over those handful of formative commercial Internet years, and happy to see our creation in the Computer History Museum. Under oddity input devices.
I would expect it to proliferate primarily on the following segments, in this following order (descending):

* High-end enthusiast performance vehicles. Think Porsche sports cars, Ferrari, etc.

* Popular, otherwise reliable commodity vehicles produced in massive numbers.

* Other enthusiast performance vehicles. Typical sports cars, muscle cars and sporty coupes.

* Most everything else.

* Vehicles unsuccessful in the marketplace.

-- ----- -----

Porsches and Ferrari sports cars are in "high enough" volume amongst well to do owners, that they'll always get taken care of. That's a market that'll always pay up.

Crossovers sold to the tune of 3-5 million vehicles (in just the US!) per model generation, full size US pickup trucks, Japanese compact economy cars, etc. As long as the repair is cost effective, it will be done. Especially when a lot of modern vehicles can go past 20 years no problem if you take care of them (including garaging). It's a huge market to serve.

Then you have the bread and butter enthusiast stuff, produced in larger numbers. Mustangs. MX-5s. Toyobaru twins. Etc. These are people who have a stronger attachment to their vehicle than a normal conveyance. They're more inclined to pay more if required.

Then most other things. Simply a function of repair cost relative to market value.

Then market failures. Almost no one is going to go out of their way to save the equivalent of a Plymouth Breeze or a Daewoo Lanos.
A lot of people have sampled literally everything in music and it is very very uncommon to get sued for creating something substantially different. I fail to see how AI is any different.

People need to realize that IP enforcement is a very leaky sieve at best, and that the very concept of intellectual property is an affront to the nature of information and ideas, particularly in a digital realm where bits are free to be copied at will

The sooner we come to this realization, and those that stand to profit from IP enforcement bullshit take their monetization elsewhere, the better off we will be as a species.
> I disagree

This is an argument. A bad one, but an argument none the less.

Copilot seems to be copying code snippets from the internet wholesale. It's not using AI to generate snippets which would possibly be ok.

Copyright doesn't care about the size of the abuse or the size of the works involved.

Microsoft is creating these copies and even facilitates their redistribution on GitHub.

I know legally it's more likely the users of copilot that are at risk here but we said the same thing about torrenting.

Look at Napster, LimeWire or the pirate bay. The outcomes Microsoft deserves here is pretty cut and dry.
Perhaps phones need an API so an application may request a single contact's information as selected by the user, without exposing the entire phone book?

Every chess player plays a lot of games, Hans' have just been more public/documented ones. You really don't think that every 2400+ player is treating chess like a full time job, and Hans just simply is just outworking them?
It seems like you just have different priorities, which is fine. Other people may prefer being able to walk to a bar instead of having to take an Uber, or being able to meet up with friends without having to make it a planned-for event, and so on. The thought of optimizing my life around loading side tables seems bananas to me, but it isn't to you, and that's cool.
Sounds like a great opportunity to ride while you also look elsewhere. It has Elon behind it so it's not like it will have a lack of funding.
i stopped reading after your first paragraph. you are doing nothing but insisting on your opinion. language and concepts are compressable and often easily abstracted. just give us an example of something that requires me to talk to you only in math expressions instead of concepts in english and maybe i'll concede the point but i said many times now i already have been proven right by the single example of the plain english description of a nonzero amount of the principle behind something otherwise called "the most complicated concept". that must amount to a supposedly inordinate quantity of complexity described plainly. qed. the real question is why we are having so much trouble agreeing. take care

Governments around the world getting more belligerent towards big tech, just see the numerous jurisdictions scrutinizing Apple, too.

"Tell his children that government is more powerful than any corporation, and the only reason they think it tilts the other way is because we poor public servants are always looking for some fat private sector's payoff down the road. But I am NOT looking. And by the time they pull the strings to force me out it will be too late."

No matter what Go is allocating under the hood, it has to be feeding exactly that many bytes to the SHA3 algorithm.
Not displaying line numbers makes it a non-starter for me.
> Also, Hardware isn't as hard as people make out, you install it once and it runs; if it fails there's a special out-of-band manager built in so you can remotely debug it, datacenters have remote-hands personel.

If you're "cloud native" you've already architected your stack to be horizontally-scalable and distributed (partly because the cloud is so expensive that running at peak load capability all the time would bankrupt you) so hardware failure should matter even less.
Honestly Snap has faced a lot of adversity.

First, Zuck. Then TikTok. Then Apple.

They could have been more focused as a company but ultimately it’s hard to imagine them surviving those successive blows.
I welcome every new discussion because it gives me a chance to correct some very wrong assumptions about how copyright works, even though it is incredibly frustrating to be silently ignored or outright told I’m “confidently incorrect”…
It is in this case. Absent any argument other than "I don't trust NIST", the designers of Keccak can refute your comment by simply saying "no, this is fine", and that's what they did.

Are you really defending politicians staying in power for decades? Wow. What ideology does to people.

The reason democracy has been so successful throughout the world is that it provides a peaceful way to remove people from power after a few years.

I dream of a day when i can build my car much like i build my pc. Upgrade the motor over time, add better steering, maybe upgrade the seats, transfer everything to a new chassis and so on. With electrics this should be doable.
I'm not sure how you could have interpreted it that way. My argument is that those that recommended repealing the Jones Act had not considered detrimental consequences. Notwithstanding, repealing the Jones Act would still permit foreign ships to navigate internal waterways. Just because it would also permit port to port navigation does not eliminate the possibility of supertankers running aground in major waterways.
If a government is acting beyond its constitutionally-mandated boundaries then it is absolutely overreach, regardless of whether 1% or 99% of people support its decisions.
I would have said that previously….

I’ve got three of the ‘old’ base 4K models.

And they are constantly running out of space!

They never used to. But now they do.

OS updates are to blame maybe.

I’ve deleted as much as I can, and just have my core 4 streaming app. No games.

And yet still it is offloading things like YouTube and I have to reboot to have a chance of it reinstalling.
The economics of hardware unfortunately do not allow "niche" and "low-cost" to go together. The market for PoE doorbells is very small as it is, so the unit-cost will be high, which makes the market too small for anyone to serve, except probably DIY.
Does scrypted require a HomeKit hub to support saving to HKSV? I have that set up on my amcrest doorbell but haven’t figured out how to get the notifications and HKSV to work.
I mean yeah. You don't have to do much deep thinking to realise that you can't have determinism and free will.

But if you think about free will for a few minutes then you'll uncover many other issues with it at different levels.

Even at the very top level. Deciding if you want a coffee? Thirsty? Remember the taste and desire it? But wait, you also recall it keeps you awake and its a bit late in the afternoon. You weigh all these things up quickly and decide... but even if the universe itself isn't deterministic, your decision making is surely not free, you took inputs with weights and that WAS the decision. It was not random.

Actual free will, at the top level, would look like rolling the dice every time. My personal belief is that if we had free will life would be unbelievably chaotic and society couldn't exist.

Now just go down a level and classical physical systems are deterministic, and even if you add quantum probabilities, those are tiny, and importantly, independent effects. i.e. they can't be controlled to make some system that is free of externalities.

And personally I also think superdeterminism is the most likely explanation for even quantum effects, but that is untestable and therefore a somewhat pointless belief.
You want so badly to change an app default that it's the "bane of your existence", but you can't be jazzed to install LineageOS or whatever? That doesn't track.

Just for actual reference, here's how expenses broke down for '22 Q2 [1]:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 - In thousands
-----------------------------------------------
Cost of revenue - $540.676
Research and development - $454,859
Sales and marketing - $308,301
General and administrative - $216,586
---------------------------------------
Total costs and expenses - $1,520,422

So just running Twitter is 35%, R&D is another 30%, sales/marketing is 20%, while general/administrative is 14%.

If running Twitter includes a lot of server/infrastructure costs on top of headcount, and general/administrative includes a lot of rent and overhead, then maybe by totally cutting R&D and sales and marketing you could cut 75% of employees but Twitter would still run?

At work I say "the ride never ends" everytime some ongoing issue or everyday shenanigan happens. My colleagues kinda interpreted that as something I say but they have no idea its a reference to Mr Bones Wild ride which is RCT2 meme.
Have they stopped doing this? It's a shame because its a great idea.
Sometimes I let people explain something I already know because they either explain it better or add more detail. Even a well described reminder is useful and interesting if told well.

Sometimes though it's not useful and it's them explaining poorly or, even worse, pointless simplification. They'll get interrupted fast if either of those is the case.

Just found this article and wanted to share it. Super interesting stuff imho. Especially the linked sheet helped me.
In big eastern US cities, there's been much more of a "whatever won't get you run down" approach to intersections than was historically the case out west. At least a couple decades ago, western cities had a reputation for ticketing pedestrians for crossing against lights that would have been laughable in e.g. NYC.
I never said anything about current rents, just that superblocks and general walkability are in extremely high demand, so rents will reflect that.
To me it doesn't sound normal. Yes there are layoffs, but I feel like the market (at least in the US) is still hot, especially for good senior people. If you truly went through 40 interviews without ever making it to an offer I'm sorry but there is a problem somewhere with you.

At what stage of the process do you usually get rejected/ghosted? 40 seems like enough data points to try to detect a pattern. There is something you're doing wrong, but you can learn what it is and improve.
