Expected value here should include some measure or utility. Like “expected value of useful money.”

After the lottery is over 20 million, how much difference does it really make whether it’s 100M, 500M, or 1B.

If there were 1k chances at 1M then I might consider a ticket.

But 1 chance at 1B is about as good as 1 chance at 1M. Unless you’re pooling with several thousand people, Do your expected value at the point where the money’s impact levels off.
Hi, Thank you for your inquiry. We can definitely help you. We'll get back to you with specific questions regarding your project within 24 hours.
Please let us know if you need a plan of action sooner.
You work on a forum - it is by design limited to some area(s) of focus. Twitter is not like that.

I think forums are great. I think forums are better than Twitter, because they can have some focus. I think social media probably doesn't scale, because social groups will always surface conflict.

I think you can design those algorithms if you know what area(s) your community cares about. Twitter cares about everything.
Breadth-first security attacks will exploit input sanitizing exploits like that. Security audits can certainly help with that, assuming they don't impose a huge security infrastructure and review process that crushes developer productivity, which always seems to happen.

Depth-first attacks as described are a different class of attack, and of course "audit" won't help that much. Education, penetration testing, and honeypots are some of the stuff that works for that.

Ultimately, if an organization treats its work force like crap, then depth-first attacks are unstoppable. The crypto-locker attackers are strangely pro-worker, because it highlights how disgruntled employees are such effective attack vectors via bribery, vengeance, or apathy.
Genpax | Engineers (full stack, frontend/backend, product, devops) | Notting Hill, London, UK | ONSITE (hybrid/flexible) | https://www.genpax.co/

Genpax is building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. Using bioinformatics, we can help hospitals take early and effective action against outbreaks of MRSA and other pathogens. This is an opportunity to have a real-world impact on thousands of lives each year.

At Genpax our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which whole genome sequencing (WGS) data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and to respond appropriately to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed unique solutions to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.

There are really interesting engineering problems to be solved: scaling and optimising our analysis pipeline and the bioinformatics algorithms we use; building out our interactive graph-based user-facing product; developing cryptographic techniques for analysis of anonymised data. At the moment we're using Python, GraphQL, React/TypeScript, Postgres and AWS.

£45-95k + equity, based on experience.

ESM Metagenomic Atlas: first view of the ‘dark matter’ of the protein universe
As far as I can tell the vast majority of the scientific community still consider it valid.

I also discovered in searching that you're talking about David Graeber. I recently read his "Bullshit Jobs" book because someone on here cited it. It was one of the worst books I've ever read. It was clearly a contrived political manifesto (I suppose for "anarchy") with the thinnest veneer of popular science wrapped around it. I think ancient aliens probably got more anthropology correct.

So if you're going to appeal to an authority instead of actually transmitting the argument yourself then David Graeber seems like probably one of the worst you could pick to cite.
Claim: For your privacy, we store all of the recordings locally on your Mac. Only you have access to them.

From the docs:

> Video data is never sent off your Mac. The only data sent to a cloud service is the audio. We send it to a cloud transcription service in order to generate a transcript of what was said. This transcript is created so you can read it and search for specific words that were said. [1]

Yeah, we only "store locally", but hey, that doesn't stop us from sending it to a third party service for transcription. I was already uncomfortable with the idea of being voice recorded. Reading between the lines of how it works doesn't inspire a ton of confidence.

This misses my point.

This all happened after the fact- organic was in wide use before it was regulated, and meant a great many different things.

Here, right to repair (outside of NY) is not codified, and people are talking about it in many different ways, with different meanings. If we want to have it codified in a certain way, we cannot simply reduce what we are talking about to a catchphrase and hope that captures everything. We need to be specific in our lobbying of legislatures of what we want right to repair to mean.

Per the USDA, organic farming does not mean zero synthetic pesticides (though they must be used with approval first).

There are also different levels of organic:

"100% Organic" applies to everything but the salt and water contents of a food item

"Organic" means 95% of the non-salt and water ingredients must be organic

"Made with organic" means only the specified ingredients are organic.

If you don't want "Right to Repair" to mean that only 95% of your purchase is repairable, and touching the other 5% voids your warranty and lands you in jail for violating copyright, then now is the time to make 100% repairable be the definition while it is still not legally codified.
Bit surprised - just found out that Valgrind was first released in Feb 2002. It turns out, i've been using it since it's almost first days, 2002 for sure. Had no idea.

This vulnerability could actually be weponized against botnets that utilize older ssh clients.
The problem with any global platform where anyone can see anyone else's post and interact with it will be the same. We are humans, with different norms, cultural contexts, lived experiences, senses of humour, etc.

When we try to solve this from any lens, whether it's "we should have egalitarian values" or "free speech" or "safety," we end up compounding this problem.

While I think there are some things that are terrible and objectionable, there are other people who clearly feel differently. Does that make them "right?" and thus I need to be subjected to it? No. Does that make me then get to decide what is right?

When we put people with such different views into the same space, we incentivise those who get attention from creating a rise or reaction from the people who are different, so it's not as simple as 'just don't look at or follow what you don't like.'

There isn't a way to magic OR tech our way out of this.

To me, an optimistic view of the future internet is one in which we find small communities, and spend our time in them, even if other people think they are terrible.

There's a paradox when it comes to how 'echo chambers' work. It turns our that when we feel seen, when we have an actual sense of belonging from knowing others (not one from aligning with this or that "side") we simply become less prone to polarization and anti-social behaviour. What has caused the current problems isn't people hanging out and agreeing, it's putting people in contexts where they feel like they need to signal disagreement or agreement to people who they don't align with (to be 'acceptable to ones they do align with), even to the point where they are agreeing or disagreeing with things that make literally no sense.

So if you are thinking about re-building a global platform, please reconsider and imagine what it might look like if you spent the time you do now on Twitter actually talking to someone or extending a welcoming space.
And if you skip recommends-dependencies, it's a few hundred k, depending on what you have already.

> strings are sane to work with

Okay, I'll bite - how does it handle filenames with spaces and newlines in them? I have a strong case of Stockholm syndrome with bash because I figured out how to deal with the first one, but I'd love a system that deals with that sanely.
It's more than this. It's way better to think of Harvard et al as large hedge funds abusing the school tax loophole. They do want the children who will be world leaders, billionaires etc. but it is because those are the most likely to donate to the hedge fund. They don't want to grow admission because it might hurt hedge fund donations but also because educating people is secondary to their actual purpose and should only be engaged in to the point that their primary purpose is maximized (middle management doesn't make the kind of donations worth worrying about for a hedge fund, they want a higher minimum efficient scale).

The sum of the annunity payments is not a very useful number. You really need to use the cash value or construct your own present value of the sequence of payments.

Ignoring taxes is also a mistake, because even annuitized, most of the winnings are going to be taxed at the top rate which is approximately 40%.

That said, I'm willing to ignore the tax issue, and I'll generate some numbers and pay my $2 for Wednesday's drawing. The economic utility of pissing away $2 on this may approach 40 cents.
Then I suggest you move to an authoritarian country where free speech rights aren't guaranteed. Because if you're in the US, it will never be false that free speech is free speech.

You will certainly be more likely to achieve your goals of limiting others speech.

I really admire the ambition of this product. I've noticed how much I use the internet as a "second brain". Being able to quickly get back to things would improve my life.

The UI also looks very good for a first version. Excited to give this a try!
I don't think it is fair to blame the language for this.

Look at the lines above the vulnerability:

n = n + i / (written_out + 1);
i %= (written_out + 1);

Whatever buffer manipulation this is doing could be abstracted out into a library. (As studio.h does.)

Also, since written_out probably varies from loop iteration to iteration, what does "n remainder i" even mean?

Also, why don't they increment written_out before doing the arithmetic, and why do they increment i on line 523, when the only intermediate use of it is "i + 1"?

I've written some crappy code in my time, but when things descended into that level of insanity, I either delegated to fuzz tested functions, or at least left a comment.
If it isn't a crime or spam then it is in fact disagreement.

There is no inherent different from calling someone a "racist" or "nazi" to calling someone a "groomer". On Twitter these "slurs" are used by different sides (bubbles) but other than that there is no difference.

It might be a baseless allegation or there could be more to it but either way it is clearly an opinion and disagreeing is fine no need to prevent anyone from voicing it.

>Musk himself posted (and deleted shortly afterwards) libel about Pete Pelosi.

I would assume he was being sarcastic by posting an obvious "whack source" with a silly rather obvious made up story. But it went over peoples head so he removed it. (But that is just my interpretation)

But whatever it was, why does it bother you? What exactly is so horrible about posting something "wrong" and deleting it?
What is so hard about the concept of allowing people to be wrong about things? Where does the "entitlement" to demand people to get everything right come from? You don't apply this standard to yourself don't you? And if you are wrong about something would you rather want people to tell you/debunk your claim or would you want your "wrong think" to just be removed?

I've yet to see that horrible combination of letters that is too dangerous to face the scrutiny of people and calling it out. Lame slurs certainly dont pose any threat to a stable individual and I dont think we should adapt to the unstable that just make everyone more and more intolerant.
Looks to me like a coding style fix along for the ride with the correctness fix.
SEEKING WORK - Freelance/Contract - USA Remote

Technologies: Linux, Yocto, Rust, C, C++, Python, Terragraph (801.11ay)

I am an ex-Facebook Software Engineer specialized in moving large data around with a background in networking, flash drives, real time video compression, and scientific computing. I work with open source software stacks and have worn all of the hats associated with the software development life cycle.

I am looking for Freelance/Contract work with interesting projects at the low level. Let me know if you want to build or productize an embedded rust platform, pure rust containers, C/C++/Yocto anything, commercialize 801.11ay, zero copy network drivers (io_uring for networking), or other similar low level infrastructure project.
That sounds like an application of an old aphorism I once heard: "every good filing system has a 'miscellaneous' folder".

Could maybe call it the Godel folder :)
> why would they decide to quarantine the most engaging posts?

Maybe as a private company, they can start to think beyond shallow, short term metrics.
Not to mention the people who have built their careers, personality, and livelihoods on that engagement. "Thought leaders" and "engagement grifters" are a very new (in the digital sense) and very real thing. And we can't forget the professional advocates whose job consists only of shaming, berating, and victimhood.

It's a tough pill to reconcile; make money at the expense of toxicity or find a revenue model that's benevolent. It'll be interesting to see if Twitter changes.
From what I am reading the address needs to be in a certificate you trust. So, then the question is, who is issuing certificates some lunatic wrote nonsense into, but which you trust? In many cases the answer will be "Nobody".
I don't think that's security-relevant, likely just keeping a linter happy.
I'm all for filesystem standards but "serving" is such an ephemeral concept that I don't think it makes sense to mandate that "files" that are "served" must be mounted under /srv. That's just being excessively pedantic.

‘Get Igor Girkin’: hopes MH17 suspect could be captured fighting in Ukraine

You are correct. I messed that one up.

It was mentioned above that in USA there's a forced meme that introverts should be extraverts, it was just an instance of that astroturfing.
It doesn’t put healthcare costs in a positive light, it puts the economic surplus to support healthcare spending in a positive light.

There’s a subtle but critical difference between them. Namely you can simply increase healthcare spending by 100x in the US without dramatic improvements in other parts of the economy.
Saudi Aramco reports $42B quarterly profit
To complement your post: To be clear, no one with a deep understanding of Tokyo area considers anything outside the "23 ku's" as Tokyo. Really, Okutama, Tokyo (two hours west of world's busiest train station: Shinjuku) is comically rural -- literally, there are big mountains and small family farms that grow wasabi (delicious!). Yes, the province of Tokyo is enormous and includes lots of protected nature (and lovely hiking trails!), but when most people say "Tokyo" they mean the central 23 cities ("ku's"). If you want to get more specific, Tokyoites sometimes discriminiate between inside and outside the loop train line called Yamanote line. It is definitely the sense of urban and ex-urban in Tokyo.
More generally, differentiable "controllable, well understood thing," so we can start combining the successes of deep learning with the grokkability of more specific solutions.
For the longest time Girkin was looking for a way to get into the actual fighting. Now that he was allowed to, two thoughts:

* The RF authorities silenced an outspoken critic of the way the war has been (mis)managed. Girkin was getting very close to saying that Putin was a traitor without actually using these words. He was more explicit with regards to the rest of the political and military elite.

* He should probably fear the Russians as much as the Ukrainians.
What's the Deal with That Goldman Sachs Programmer? (2009)
My Simple Kubernetes Setup for Side Projects
I don't understand how Meta could be a compelling game changer like the iPhone because I don't understand what practical value it offers. The iPhone and mobile in general has had an incredible impact on economic efficiency alone, much less the cultural changes it has driven. People can't live without their phones. Whether or not that's a good thing is TBD, but it's hard to imagine a product that is similarly indispensable - Automobiles maybe? Electricity? Indoor plumbing?

Ok, so then compare Meta's big idea. Standing in a room with a screen strapped to your head, blocking out the rest of the world and rendering your body useless? What exactly is that going to provide other than an enhanced gaming or entertainment experience? I fully suspect that I'm missing something because it seems ridiculous. Not the idea of an immersive experience to enhance entertainment, but the idea of taking the largest social media portfolio of companies and pivoting towards this.

For context, I get metaverses. I was a pretty big participant in SL from 2006-2010ish. I wrote tons of lsl and collaborated with builders to sell 10s of thousands of dollars of silly things that made people's experience more fun. So as a fun side thing, I get. But how exactly could that translate in to THE thing? Especially if it means sitting like a zombie on my couch?
