I heard that the advanced materials team of SpaceX went to help design the alloys used for the castings.

They needed a castable aluminum resistant to corrosion, rigid enough that didn’t need heat treatment.

From what I heard at Munroe they had to design a new alloy to meet all requirement and that is unheard of in the automotive market (off the shelf components culture)

It make sense that SpaceX had expert in that field (for turbine components)
That seems about as far from true as a statement can be.

Can you give an example?
>Seems like it is the easiest way possible to combat the misinformation not by becoming some sort of arbiter of truth but merely making it harder for people to push information out anonymously in the first place.

People with blue checks, who have had their identities verified and aren't anonymous, already stretch the truth and put out misinformation. Adding a $20/month fee isn't going to change that. $20/month is worth it for many people who want to bend the truth for their own personal gain, whatever that may be. I really don't understand how charging people for a blue check next to their name somehow also "combats misinformation".
USPTO patent examiner here. I don't think that being a patent examiner (clerk is the historical term) would be a good choice, and it probably wasn't a great choice when Einstein was an examiner either. The USPTO is based on a quota system and few examiners think the amount of time given is reasonable. The vast majority of newer examiners find the job stressful. The pay isn't particularly good given the amount of work and its difficulty. Einstein referred to himself as a "patent slave" in a letter, so that's why I think it wasn't particularly different back then. I think Einstein succeeded in spite of the disadvantages of being a patent examiner.

An earlier comment of mine along these lines: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30056203

(Note that this comment is only my opinion, not that of the USPTO, federal government, etc. They like to whitewash the problems at the USPTO. :-P)
Lots of distros don't use v3 yet and are not affected.

This is definitely far from Heartbleed level of catastrophe.
Space Stations have been done before. Most of what SpaceX is doing has not.
So, back in early 2000's, it was common knowledge that some US gov't agency (NSA?) had managed to get a saboteur in to the SSL standardization committee.

Once they were outed, it was clear that all they did was push as much complexity as possible into the spec, ensuring a steady stream of vulnerabilities like this.

For instance, instead of hardcoding things that are definitely fine, they would push through a configuration knob, or champion obscure extensions to the wire protocol in the name of "generality". Whenever someone else proposed a compliciation, they would fast track it as much as possible, and simplifications were black holed.

I can't find a reference anywhere. Does anyone know what I'm (mis)remembering?
And frankly he should not have bought it at all.
CPython: Generate the Interpreter
Its so true that US society is strongly tilted towards extroverts. As an introvert I feel like I'm forced to live on the edge of everything, keeping my head down while still engaging in performative socialization just to keep the extroverts from expressing hostility towards me. Their culture is often one of pushiness, aggressiveness, and wealth/status competition games and none of those appeal to me on any level.

Meanwhile its very difficult to find other introverts, no doubt because they are also hiding.

> What's the use case for sharing passwords?

My wife and I have a number of accounts we share a single credential for. There are a surprising number of services we access as parents that don't have the concept of shared ownership of content on the server side.

I'd bet there are other use cases as well. Off the top of my head, Hello Fresh also doesn't allow more than one login to manage the same subscription.
Scratch tickets?
The birth rate is so low around the world that we may see peak population by 2060 (worst case) and then an exponential decline. Quality of life will decrease as the number of old people drastically out numbers the young people.
You don't. You build something better.

Twitter is a form of low quality information broadcast in that roughly 10% of the active users post anything and the remaining 90% consume it, so at this point its basically just an overpriced RSS feed + friend of a friend logic (FOAF).

Social media is in decline, so building new social media is the last desperate resort of people seeking to broadcast their opinions in a venue they control. If you are like Elon Musk and have made enormous wealth by encouraging people to inflate the value of your stock then control of social media is important especially when your primary value channel is at risk of removal after calling people pedophiles or challenging the SEC. Same for Donald Trump.

For everybody else social media is either a party of deplorables or just a venue for mindless streaming entertainment (TikTok).

Unless you own large advertising media channels in need of eyeballs I would recommending investing all your time and money into that next thing that will replace social media out right.

Hello! I'm a Backend Engineer / Staff Engineer with 16 years experience that loves to be a key contributor to great products, and solve particularly unusual or large-scale technical challenges.

Here are some career highlights from work I’ve been lucky enough to have been involved in:

* Scaled a social/dating app and associated AWS infrastructure up to 20 million+ users.
* Built an instant messaging system (chat), with billions of messages that are persisted permanently using Cassandra.
* Architected a video live-streaming platform that also streams "hidden" GoPro telemetry from the raw MP4 footage.
* On a ride-hailing app, collaborated with multiple engineering teams to extract a startup monolith into a microservices based platform that facilitated hundreds of operational staff.

Strong preference to jobs that offer relocation to the US. No recruiting companies, direct opportunities only.

The AT protocol I was looking at the other day has a concept of choosing your own algorithm to aggregate content. I think that’s an important option in order for a dominant platform to be useful to society.

I think the submission is exactly wrong, the culture of an online space is heavily linked to the technology of the platform, interlinked with its business model.

> Because they're licensing the design of the chips. The idea that you can impose conditions on what I'm allowed to do with the blueprints you sold me are preposterous.

It all depends on the licensing agreement. The vast majority of them have this sort of restrictions. The way it works is that a license agreement gives some rights, but not all of them. If you get a license, you have to follow the terms you agreed, which often have a whole bunch of restrictions. Whether you thing it is preposterous is not really here nor there.

It is not far fetched to have agreements covering one type of cores and not others, or things like that. Or, in software terms, a license to run some software on 12 cores and not 13. Or to install it on netbooks and not proper laptops.

A license is an authorisation to use some IP. It does not make the IP yours.

> Can you make me not call it an ARM chip, probably. Can you compel me not to make the chip at all -- crazy.

Well, then I guess the world is crazy.

In a case like this, you’d be perfectly able to make a chip, just not with the IP tied to a licensing term you don’t agree with… Well, some companies try to have more restrictive terms than that occasionally, like Microsoft who prevented OEMs from selling computers without Windows, or Google who prevents OEMs from making Android-derivative devices.

That’s not what I mean. What a I mean that the majority of users don’t care about repairs. Personally, I think it’s good if manufacturers are made more accountable and parts are available for the few users who want to tinker, but shouldn’t happen at the expense of overall product quality or convenience. For example, a law might mandate that all basic computer components are modular and user-replaceable. This will essentially outlaw technical solutions like high-bandwidth or low-power laptop memory since it is not feasible to make it modular. Or another example, requiring that all smartphones have easily replaceable battery will interfere with waterproofing.

But I think we can at least agree that customers should have same access to parts and tools as dedicated service centers. But I would like that manufacturers retain the right to choose technical solutions that might sacrifice repairability unless it can be reasonably shown that the only reason for that feature is planned obsolescence.

That power-law comparison between major freeways and air travel routes is quite misleading, IMO. The highly dense road networks surrounding the major cities (i.e. around Los Angeles, Bay Area, Seattle, Houston, New York-to-Florida, etc.) are left out, but for comparison to air travel they need to be included. Doing so would generate a very different map (with a very different power law).

The freeway map shown looks like the major truck-freight corridor for transporting goods (many collected at coast ports from overseas shipping) across the country to warehouses and distribution centers, certainly not what most people use for travel by car. Hence, comparison to air travel doesn't make much sense.

As far as centralization and decentralization, for most things this comes down to technological limitations (ignoring the issue of economic monopolies blocking local regions from adopting the latest technologies). Local agriculture and local energy production are a lot easier to maintain (and benefit from no transport costs), than say, local chip foundries. Maybe someday cheap 3D printers capable of spitting out nanoscale RISC-V products in someone's garage will be available, but certainly not anytime soon.
People complain to high heaven google shouldn't get to decide.
Great, so then convince the others, don't rely on Google to do it.

As for killing the format - Google maintains libjxl, the jpeg-xl reference impl, and has for years.

But like, if the people maintaining the reference impl for years really want to kill the format, maybe we should at least understand why?
They've been in the thick of it, after all.

Controlling an image format is basically worthless for a company like Google. Especially since they are always royalty free so far.

The cost to Google in bandwidth/storage/etc of images is much greater than than they could ever make off control.

Hugops to anyone patching today. I'm currently rolling over-the-air updates to a fleet of hundreds of Raspberry Pis distributed around the world.
> why do they alias all this stuff

The alias only exists on Windows. Did you read the linked page?

The aliases in this table are Windows-specific. Some aliases aren't available on other platforms. This is to allow the native command to work in a PowerShell session. For example, ls isn't defined as a PowerShell alias on macOS or Linux so that the native command is run instead of Get-ChildItem.

`rm` was never an executable on a pure (aka non-MinGW, non-Cygwin, non-MSYS2, non-WSL) Windows console; the equivalents were/are `rmdir` and `del`. Microsoft's position is clear that PowerShell is meant to supersede these old commands, and hence the aliases, but again, only on Windows. I agree that Microsoft made some strange decisions to alias `curl`, etc on other platforms too in PS6, which were reversed for PS7.

These aliases are meant as stepping-stones for POSIX-first people to get their feet wet with the Windows command-line.
I’ve been to Tokyo and other cities in Japan, and I would gladly trade what you consider ugly for their cleanliness.

I noticed that LibreSSL posted a patch release (3.6.1) does anyone know if this addresses similar issues?

We have released LibreSSL 3.6.1, which will be arriving in the
LibreSSL directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

- Custom verification callbacks could cause the X.509 verifier to
fail to store errors resulting from leaf certificate verification.

- Unbreak ASN.1 indefinite length encoding.

$1,000,000 per lb for R&D is steep, but at this stage in the game makes sense.

I wonder what the unit price for a break-even 1lb saving would be. Is it worth spending $20,000 to shave off a pound with expensive materials?
Isn't the "verified" check mark meant to indicate that the account doing the tweeting is the famous or notable person they claim they are? In my opinion, Twitter puts the verified check mark on accounts as an aid to help other Twitter readers; to help ensure they are reading the person they intended to follow.

While paying for the check mark is certainly a valid way to earn money it won't really serve the same purpose. Many notable accounts may choose not to buy in, accounts that are not notable may choose to buy in, adding to the confusion.
I don't join those servers, though, so I don't get notifications about their @channel messages. Twitter, however, is essentially doing exactly that to it's users. I hate being subjected to shit I don't want to see, so I don't keep Twitter installed on my phone, despite the fact that I an active in a couple of small, niche communities that can only exist at scale thanks to social media (and specifically Twitter). It's frustrating. Discord is (currently) the worst but best solution to this problem.
So it's a problem that the wrong benchmarks are being selected, but also active funds should also be benchmarked against passively managed indexes
I'd say reddit is a far more robust archive of conversational data. Tweets are engineered to be entertaining or informative in small bits, typically designed for maximal impact and/or clout.

Sure, reddit has a karma system that incentivizes cleverness, but it's also designed for longer form conversation in a way Twitter can't possibly replicate. The pseudonymity also encourages vulnerability and openness in a way Twitter typically doens't.

There's a reason Google/Meta/Others train their AIs with reddit conversational data.
I have to assume this is satirical. It seems to rest on the idea that people with money don’t spread misinformation, which I don’t think it true.
Works fine until user_id is null for whatever reason, or you hit the length limit on your cache key and start losing the end of it, or until your cache server decides to just start serving up the same content for every key, because y’know, software (had this happen with memcached a long time back due to a tcp timing bug and a corrupted packet) and then you’re in the soup.
NASA Rockets projects were never largely designed by the corporations. NASA has always been deeply involved in the design and micromanaged decisions down to the nuts and bolts.
Amazon’s Market Capitalization falls below $1T
libjxl still exists, it's still available.

The way this gets fixed for real, at least to me, is to get mozilla/apple to have skin in the game.
Is this exploitable ?
With current mitigations (NX, Stack Canary, ASLR), I don't see how a buffer overflow on it's own could result in Remote Code Execution.

Show HN: AutoTool – text-to-dashboard with ToolJet/Retool
Hey all!

Excited to demo AutoTool, a GPT3-powered conversational UI for rapidly prototyping internal tooling in ToolJet/Retool. You can describe what you want in an internal tools in natural language - e.g. "a dashboard that does X" - and it produces the result for you. You can also iteratively refine your dashboard using textual prompts, e.g. "Move this table here, add a form to do Y".

This is all done with prompt engineering and a creative technique for transforming GPT-3 (and Codex) output to a DSL for internal tools.

Would love to hear any feedback. Thanks!
Its going to be backport, so its going to be a fixed 3.0.2 not 3.0.7.
