Google (google.com) provides a very poor experience for anyone looking for web search results that aren't 1) ads or Google properties (above the fold) or 2) spammy SEO garbage (below the fold.)

That's silly. While you can't directly monetize your Twitter account, it can expand or straight up create your reach which you can use as a funnel to whatever monetizable content you have. That probably makes it less valuable for Twitter Inc., but it sure is valuable for Twitter users.

As a recent example, think of Pieter Levels (@levelsio). You think he would've gotten $10k first day sales on his avatar AI project without his Twitter account's reach?
While a secret salt is effective in the short term, it's an un-rotatable value. Which means, if the salt gets leaked, you are screwed (or rebuilding the entire table by brute forcing it, or adding another layer of salting - not great!).

For a company operating at Facebook's scale, with their kind of scrutiny around handling PII, this is unfortunately functionally useless.

For some data types where hashing isn't super effective, and where associative identifying information is attached (such as a user id), a more effective mechanism might be to encrypt the data with a strong random value appended, and decrypt to do the lookup. This would require a correctly provisioned HSM to do properly - the private key secrets should NEVER be exported.

While hashing seems like a good idea, it's actually particularly and deceptively tricky for these kinds of use cases.

My big interest these days tends to lie in high-performance code (minimizing latency if necessary), but coming from a theoretical/computational physics background, I can rapidly pick up anything with a mathematical or scientific computing bent to it. I have an interest in Haskell, but realistically I'm not up to snuff yet to try for a job doing it.
Can't immediately grasp how this avoids a MITM attack at the 'verifiable presentation' stage. Am I missing something?

Having seen inside a group with Ma B, and you can believe me or not when I say Boeing hasn't had a single completely successful new program in more than a generation.

Sometimes individuals or teams will, with herculean effort, do a clever thing here or there, but by and large Boeing leadership has created an environment that's actively hostile to innovation. I've never seen an incompetent person fired, not once. It's always the superstars and the go getters.

Occasionally they buy some company, exhaust its goodwill, then zombify it with dead-eyed MBAs as a meaningless "Center of Excellence". It's such efficient value destruction they should figure out a way to pack it into a JDAM.

It is indeed much easier.

Because competing with Boeing and Airbus means building cost efficient aircraft in large volumes. Building cost efficient planes in large volume is way harder than building a singular space station with barely any cost concerns.
Vehicles are bought and sold on longer time horizons than the shortage, diesel pickups were always somewhat of a rounding error and they kinda fell out of fashion hard about 5yr ago when emissions components got bad/numerous enough that the TCO didn't pencil out vs gas trucks. The OEMs saw this (the emissions driven increased TCO of diesel, not the shortage) coming ~10yr ago rolled out a new generation of gas engines for pickups, vas and MDTs which hit market in the last couple years so if anything this will drive a faster transition back to gasoline engines in those applications.

Every study that comes through here somebody invariably trots out the old "correlation does not equal causation" argument. You're not wrong, but you know, sometimes it is causation.

Rather than disregard every study, I just sort of internally give it a 50% weight and move on. Maybe it's bogus, maybe it's not, but surely some of them are correctly identifying causation.

Life is too short to quibble about this crap.

It's rarely the case that you want to look at a camera or a phone photo at 100% zoom unless you're cropping a smaller image out of a larger one. Of course, sometimes it's useful for things like reading text, but that's limited by the lens and focus abilities as much as the sensor resolution.

You'd be surprised how little megapixels are just fine for putting up on a wall or billboard. It's all about how far away the viewer is.

tl;dr Large, centralised networks are better for data collection and advertising than smaller, decentralised ones.

Centralisation versus decentralisation should not be an either/or style debate.

It is possible to have both types of networks. Each can be valuable in different contexts.

For example, we need to have networks for noncommercial purposes as well as commercial ones. Small networks, e.g., L2/3 overlays, managed by their users can be useful for noncommercial purposes. Large networks managed by central third party authorities can be useful for commercial purposes.

With respect to noncommercial internetworks, one lesson of The Internet is that large scales ones are inherently disadvantaged. Besides the problem of proprietary, non-compatible protocols mentioned in the top comment, centralised "infinite scale" networks also become infested with "tech" companies, commercial intermediaries, who usurp them as honeypots for commercial and political advertisers.^1

On "The Internet", noncommercial network use, e.g., communicating with friends and family, is being compromised for commercial purposes by a relatively small number of single, central authority websites. Hundreds of millions of people with small networks of friends and family, e.g., less than 100 nodes, are being unecessarily intermediated by central "hubs" that collect data and serve targeted advertising and/or sell advertising services.

If those smaller networks were not connected nor managed by a third parties, then the attraction of injecting advertising into peoples' noncommercial internet use falls dramatically. The incentive for, and feasibiity of, data collection is similarly reduced. Those are features, not bugs.

Whereas for commercial uses, e.g., sales of goods and services, inter-business communications, etc., small networks are far less valuable. For these applications, we need networks that scale to large sizes. Arguably that utility has already been proven as successful. Advertising and data collection may be appropriate in the commercial context.

1. The irony is that The Internet was supposed to be a means of disintermediation. In some contexts, that is true. In others, it has allowed for the greatest level of intermediation in history.
So sick of hearing this. It's a leaky ship. You gotta plug all the holes. Arguing about the order is losing time.
You'll find this pattern with some YC companies. I recall DrChrono was like this for several years with the constant HN job listings for a DevOps engineer.

In my eyes, it's a red flag and not a great sign. If a company treats people fairly and pays market rates, the job listing is unlikely to stay open very long.

At the same time, a red flag is just that - a signal, not damning proof of anything untoward.
As someone who works in compliance this absolutely.

Think of data breaches as an example, do you know how long you need to keep particular records for? Do you have a process to remove records once you no longer need them?

Additionally, businesses often need help in understanding the costs/risks with compliance vs non-compliance in order to direct their attention in the short term.
I'm a bit of a simpleton. What's the real world problem that ZX-calculus solves?

I don't know that there are many people in industry who can't code or who don't care. I think there are lots of people who may not share in the peculiarities of my opinions, or who need every minute to deliver requirements, and who feel that "working" is sufficient.

Is that wrong? I'm hesitant to say that it is. We're optimizing different things. Their approach is better in some situations - startups need to ship features fast, and if you don't have to touch the code again, it doesn't need to look good, it just needs to work. My method is optimized for sustaining engineering by adding up-front engineering time, which startup engineers may not have.

I think the most appropriate thing is to realize what situation you're in, and make value judgements there. If speed is required, optimize for speed. If sustainment is required, optimize for sustainment.
That's weird then, since I know someone in that boat. You can easily get out into Setagaya-ku from Shinjuku with less than a 30 minute commute, and there are plenty of cheap places to live out there
I've been looking to buy "portrait focal length" cameras. You can get the AliExpress equivalent of a standard phone camera, dressed up as compatible to Raspberry Pi, and somebody even brought wide-angles to that market once, but no-one seems to have the long focal lengths.

Optics is weird. Either a device becomes a thing and then it's immediately a huge product, or the availability is straight up zero.
LMAO, the earth is flat too, right?
The situation and background are complicated and the mainstream media doesn't really have so much time to go into it all - both a lack of reporter time and reader interest. I find it interesting to read takes from people on different sides of it.

One reason the US and UK come across stoppy (eg "Boris to stop the peace negotiations") is Ukraine used to have nukes and in 1994 the US, UK and Russia signed an agreement for them to give them up in return for the parties to guarantee their borders. If you let Russia just send in tanks, kill a few people and then say lets have a new agreement then what's even the point? If they don't stick to the first one they probably won't stick to the second. And then why even bother with nuclear non proliferation? If the agreements aren't worth the paper they are written on you may as well try to get nukes instead.
Back of the hand math, and some benchmarking, suggests that a consumer laptop GPU from about 2015 could bang it out in a month. And, that's being (extremely) pessimistic.

(Assuming a GPU takes .001s to do a sha3 hash, which is more than double the actual benchmarks).

I would estimate that a single, high end GPU from the last or current generation could probably chew through it in under a week.

For someone who knows next to nothing about pianos: If I (or perhaps my children) want to learn/play the piano today, what are the benefits of having a real piano at home vs an electronic keyboard? It seems to me that a low-end/"budget" upright or baby grand piano costs around as much as a high-end electronic keyboard. What are the differences in sound and/or over-all playing experience?
That's one way to rationalize your addiction.
That did not really answer the question. Twitter allows me to disseminate a photo or video to the entire world, at no risk to myself, for free. How does mastodon address the use case?
Uh... did you like actually read his code? He has no shared state across threads. It's a perfect example for multiprocessing.
Everyone seems to either be assuming King somehow cares about paying $$ instead of making a political statement and/or Elon was making a serious earnest reply to King, instead of being his usual needling shitposter self. Neither of which both of their histories supports.

Stephen King will quit Twitter just as credibly as Jay-z “retired” from rapping.... like Elon Musk gives a shit about convincing a person worth $500M+ that $20 vs $8/m is too much to ask.
I’m curious what you feel is “good enough” for concert images. I recently went to a concert and took a ton of pictures on my Pixel 5, which IMO performed much better than my previous android (non flagship) phones to a level I was pretty happy with, albeit I do not have an iPhone to compare with. I uploaded some (slightly decent) images to imgur, could you let me know if this is better than or similar to your experience/photos?

It's true, that "older is better" is only true up to a point. A 40-year-old Steinway? Probably great. A 120-year-old? Not so much.
Discord | Senior Security Engineer, Platform Security | SF, CA or Remote | Full Time

https://discord.com/jobs/6472567002

Security Engineering is a small but mighty team (we went from 2 people this time last year to 14 today) securing systems at very high scale. Platform Security works at protecting the platform we're building these high-scale systems on top of. Looking for all sorts of backgrounds to apply; Security folks of course, but also SRE and backend devs with some security feelings.

Among the projects we'll be doing next year are:

- mTLS for S2S auth

- Expanding malware detection by leveraging VirusTotal and other platforms

- Building WebAuthN requirements and other security controls for Discord the app (we're the only enterprise customer of Discord!)

Can be in office in SF, fully remote, hybrid, whatever you feel. My team has people on 3/4 continental US timezones.

Stack: Python, Rust, Elixir, Typescript, Google Cloud Platform, GKE, Kubernetes, and more
If you are using an APS-C camera or a FF above 30MP, at f/10 you are already suffering from diffraction. You really want to be between f/5.6 and f/8. Of course, composition is still the most important thing, so if you need the depth of field you need the depth field.

As for the exposure you can just use aperture priority with your ISO set to the base ISO. On a Nikon camera you'd actually want to be at 64. If the scene doesn't have challenging highlights then going under the base ISO or overexposing will provide even better results.
> there's tons of niche hardware that just can't be driven from Linux.

Linux developers can often do wonders, but they still do not have a crystal ball. If that hardware is niche+closed+expensive I don't see how they can produce working drivers or software. Manufacturers not releasing documentation are the problem, not Linux, or BSD or any other non supported OS.
Turkmenistan is a country that keeps John Oliver excited. That's saying a lot.
If we're a simulation then there's no reason why alien life couldn't also be simulated unless there's a specific point to our simulation that the presence of alien life would interfere with. If there's a point to the simulation we're all experiencing I have no fucking clue what it is.
Rocket engines are simpler than jet turbines, actually. It take a lot of material engineering to get something with both performance and economy. As for the rest, it’s just avionics that china hasn’t developed yet, and that really “just” software.
> Everyone has always had the option to vote with their dollars.

Imagine for a second that this was an actual election. To vote for fossil fuels, people just have to call a phone number or drive to a polling place (gas station).

To vote for carbon neutrality -that is, to be actually carbon neutral- a voter has to buy a new, more expensive car. They have to stop flying. They have to change everything they eat. They have to plant a bunch of trees. They have to spend hundreds of dollars on renewable electricity to ensure at least someone is getting renewable power, even if it isn't them personally. Or they can just stop using electricity, I guess.

Imagine an election where you had to fulfill all those requirements for a year in order to vote annually. Would you say that voters "had the option" to vote? I wouldn't.

Money has unequal power depending where its spent. You personally, trying to buy renewable electricity, have to spend hundreds of times more than a large scale coordinated action. Think of it as like the economy of scale.

I assume these are places with no natural gas infrastructure? I finally convinced my mom to convert from oil to gas, even though she has a somewhat irrational fear of gas, based just on the cost. She'll break even on the cost of the new furnace within a couple years. The cost difference between the fuels is significant.

I am not a Steinway hater; I've just done an enormous amount of research during the course of buying my own pianos. This included trying new and used Steinways, interviewing conservatory technicians (that have Steinway in their stock), and so on.

Steinway is a hugely successful brand and the piano of choice for many. Steinway's best pianos are undoubtedly world-class. Those are the pianos you hear in recordings and concerts.

The "feel" of Steinway's keys are due to the Renner action. They bought Renner-the-company relatively recently, which about every other top tier manufacturer uses/used, including Bechstein, Fazioli, and so on. Previously, Steinway built their own actions, but Renner simply did a better job.

Gould owned a Chickering, and also recorded on Yamaha. He used Steinway at concerts in NYC as well. His famous Goldberg recording of the 80s was on a Yamaha.
Yeah but that is just software… and software is much more mailable than hardware. At some point perhaps the default will be 48mp
>they only used them for those purposes about 5-10% of the time.

"5-10%" works out to once every 1-2 weeks. That seems like a pretty good reason to have such a truck, considering that if you actually needed it it would be a huge hassle to rent one. I haven't done the math on this, but I imagine that if you used it even once every 3-4 weeks you'd come out ahead on time/money.
