Seems like splitting hairs. If the person using it is registering their assault and the perpetrator is already in the database then the person entering that name in be notified.

The article doesn't need to make the presumption of innocence - it's not a trial, it's showing how this is helpful to a victim of assault. There's no "two sides" argument here.

If you check out the the Project Callisto website they outline the protections there are for accused - namely that they can never be named to the lawyers who get involved by the project. That has to be done by the individuals making the accusation to the lawyers.

It is - as the article says - a way of letting the victims know they are not alone.
> we are the first to make it work for 48 kHz sampled stereo audio (i.e., CD quality)

"CD quality" is 44.1khz over 16bit.

> We achieve an approximate 10x compression rate compared with MP3 at 64 kbps, without a loss of quality.

but then later:

> The key to lossy compression is to identify changes that will not be perceivable by humans
The victims can contact their own assigned lawyers. The article doesn't explicitly say this, but I think the 2 lawyers can contact each other.
> As for the other submission, I didn't find the slightest indication that the submitter did anything wrong. If you posted your URL to another site, perhaps they saw it there and thought HN might find it interesting? Alternatively, perhaps they had 'showdead' turned on in their profile, saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33383563 and thought it might do better with a different title? There are lots of ways that post could have been made legitimately.

If it is possible to show "dead" posts by anyone who then get "inspired" and re-post them, this could be an explanation. However, the policy of not notifying accounts that they are "banned" but their posts are still posted is a bit odd. What is the reasoning and "long game"? Can an account be un-banned or are the posts only stored and forgotten?

> It's also not clear what the alternative hypothesis is - what are they supposed to have done that wasn't legitimate? I looked at a bunch of their submissions and none of the links had been previously submitted to HN, so this isn't happening routinely.

Well, I assumed that only internal HN staff could hide and view posts, and that looked a bit suspicious - especially if the "hi-jacking" accounts are posting 24/7.
Did they find microplastics in it?
Everybody is on "internet" now.

Just like it is normal for your average phone user to have wifi, cellular data, bluetooth and location always turned on, so it is normal for these admins to have their DC on the internet.

I am an engineer working on autonomous vehicles. Nothing personal just responding to the thread as a whole. I don't believe this guy is conspiring to trick anyone. Business decisions, or course. I think they are in good faith gambling on this one approach. So I am interested to see if their idea will win, or if someone else figures out a better way.
What I've noticed is sort of "take it all away and sell it back" behavior.

I think of the airlines, after 9/11 and the pandemic and how they made everything an extra-cost option. Luggage. food. snacks. every form of waiting in line (at the gate, getting to your seat, the security line, etc) seats you fit in.

Now good service has been replaced with mediocre service, and you buy back convenience (or even common decency) bit by bit.
I've found both gruvbox and github light theme to be something that my eyes can handle.
Great! When do you think you'll have it done?
It seems to spit out nonsense questions with little relevance to the text. Given a text about grass, it might ask: "what is green?" followed by 3 actually green things, one of them being grass.

It's a fancy cloze generator. It has no understanding of which constituent parts of a sentence are related to the subject and does not generate alternative answers that are reliably wrong.
I don't think Google-internal communications happen over gRPC. Maybe the protocol was design with an ambition to replace their internal RPC system but it probably failed at that.

They have a new system called Snap although judging from the paper I don't think it can completely replace TCP: https://research.google/pubs/pub48630/ My understanding is that Snap enables new use cases including moving functionality previously done via RPCs to RDMA-like one-sided operations. I think it is complement to RPCs but does not replace it.
A VP fixed a bug I filed recently and I had to wonder what he was doing looking at it.
The perfect background music for coding.
I see one of the things missing is the ability to model a problem correctly. Even if you did not learn new algorithms or solve new problems, you learn how to model the problem better. You fix a bug, you learn where the abstraction leaks. You try to build a better model next time.
> Callisto employees have no access to the name of the perpetrator within Callisto Vault. When two or more survivors have entered the same unique identifier of the same perpetrator and a "match" occurs, each survivor is contacted by a Legal Options Counselor (LOC). The LOC is an attorney and all information discussed with survivors is protected by attorney client privilege. The LOC will discuss all legal options with survivors to find the right coordinated action to take. The only way a perpetrator will find out they have been entered into Callisto Vault is if a survivor tells them or moves forward with legal action against the perpetrator and Callisto Vault is disclosed during legal proceedings.

It would be useful if KYC and KYB were expanded once in the readme. I can Google them, of course, but for semi familiar readers having one expanded use towards their first use can help prevent disruptions in reading.

The English version PDF document going into the specific digit manipulation and service code string formats looks to me like a boilerplate they started with and I would be surprised if they have renamed all the methods and variables let alone modified any format structure. It should be easy to figure out the software platform they are using and even if this got sold through a front company there will be a very nervous LI system vendor and supply chain out there somewhere who is about to have a ton of bricks come down on them.
Remember who the audience of the document is: powerful studio executives steeped heavily in the sexism that was the social norm for the era. They may not understand the philosophy of the series (and probably wouldn't have cared for it if they had) but they do understand that having pretty faces can improve viewer counts (not so different from today really) and they want to be certain that there's going to be ROI before doling out funds.

What you should be marveling at is that, for the 1960s, Star Trek TOS had highly progressive aspects, such as having women about a warship at all, let alone as officers and even the first officer. For comparison, in the United States Navy, women were not allowed to serve on combatant ships until 1994[1] and having the first woman to be assigned to command a combatant ship didn't happen until 1998[2]. Even I'm a bit surprised to discover that it was that recent.

KYC and more broadly AML efforts are meant to detect and prevent both profit-motivated crime like fraud and terrorism. It's a shame that a 2011 report by the UN showed only 0.2% success rate (criminal enterprises kept 99.8% of illicit earnings) after two decades of the stuff. Things haven't exactly gotten better since then, with as little as 0.1% successfully confiscated and the proportion attributable to money laundering regulations possibly as low as 0.02% (https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JMLC-01-...). It's possibly the least effective policy experiment of all time.

The whole endeavor might be so entrenched now that it's "sovereign-complete" and will require complete regime change to really change it, much like other things, but from more optimistic views there's probably already enough people working at the layer of law to try and make things better (here's a random congressional testimony from 2017 https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Cassara%20Tes... "Modernizing AML Laws to Combat Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing"). People working at the layer of tech might help best not by making the most streamlined implementations of everything possible, though open source is certainly better than not, but by making the experience as brutally inconvenient and complaint-generating (directed/redirected at law makers) as possible, doing the minimum necessary to follow the laws and regulations as currently written to minimize their harms, since their gains are pretty much nothing. As they currently tend to exist, KYC setups end up being more useful for crime than against it.
Equality is very important concept in mathematics, because it allows to manipulate formulas by rules. When formulas are manipulated, it's important to keep them as small as possible, because it's hard to manipulate a wall of text. Instead of short sequence of formulas, which you can write and verify quickly, you will have lengthy books, like written by ancient mathematics.

For example, command line tools, which are used often, also have cryptic one-symbol options, like `tar xzf`, which looks like formulas, for same reason: to be able write, manipulate, and check them quickly. However, most command tools are distributed with a built-in help or manual for these cryptic options, while most formulas are not. IMHO, we need something like «formulapedia», with manuals for most popular formulas.
Nice share, gotta check this one out!
So you're saying these things exist because the ruling class, which is already in power, uses them to... make sure they remain even more in power?
Maybe you don't know you need the flow and seeing a description makes you go holy shit, I gotta rethink some things.
It is telling about the mean knowledge level of C in the vicinity of the author that first paragraph does not include «why subject yourself to a language with such a pervasive UB?»
Assuming that is true (and I am sympathetic to it) they're still going to spend a few months hearing arguments and then writing it all up. The chances they will give a ruling without going through the motions is basically zero right?
The optical sensors are just a small part of the human (and animal in general) vision system. A much bigger component is our innate (evolutionarily acquired) understanding of basic mechanics, simple agent theory, and object recognition.

When we look at the road, we recognize stuff in the images we get as objects, and then most of the work is done by us applying basic logic in terms of those objects - that car is off the side of the road so it's stationary; that color change is due to a police light, not a change in the composition of objects; that small blob is a normal-size far-away car, not a small and near car; that thing on the road is a shadow, not a car, since I can tell that the overpass is casting it and it aligns with other shadows.

All of these things are not relying on optics for interpreting the received image (though effects such as parallax do play a role as well, it is actually quite minimal), they are interpreting the image at a slightly higher level of abstraction by applying some assumptions and heuristics that evolution has "found".

Without these assumptions, there simply isn't enough information in an image, even with the best possible camera, to interpret the needed details.

>>The fundamental incentives for Twitter as a business have not changed.

>Have they not changed? This is a genuine question.

If Musk pays back the bank loans, there shouldn't be anybody who could force him to continue the ad business and he could offer Twitter for free.

A billion users, with 10 tweets per day, that's 4T tweets per year. At 250 bytes per tweet, that's 1P data. At $20 per terabyte, that's $20,000 per year. With the same amount for transfer and servers, Musk should be able to run Twitter for $100,000 plus employees.

With those costs, Twitter could be financed by offering image and video tweets as a paid feature for $1 per year.
I'd say about tree fiddy.
> Am I just printing diffs? If so, how much context do I need? If not, do I print out whole source files, and do I need to tag the parts that were part of my commit? Should I print 100-page generated files that I technically checked in to source control?

These should be answered by the order from Musk.

I assume the news just reported on the high level details and skip the low level details.

The other theory is that this is straight up fake news. That is why there is no more details. I actually think it is fake news.

Now let's pretend it is real. Whatever the answers to these questions are. They don't sound difficult to do by any mean.

If they want the diff, we print pull requests.

If they want the whole file, we jump to the files we touch and print the files.

If they want 100 pages, we go through each file and print until we hit 100 pages.

If they don't want generated files, then we avoid them.

What is going on here? It is not that hard by any mean. I'm not sure why you act like you can't do this thing easily.

I'm not quite sure what your argument is.

I suppose if you click slowly, it may take you 5 minutes? Okay? Is that exponentially harder or what? Would you get insanely frustrated because the task requires 5 minutes of your time?
How do posts from other Fediverse networks work on Mastodon?
I don't know, but I'll bet there's a lot of iphone-specific workarounds compiled into the car's code.
I watched Melrose Place.
I can see the logic behind raising interest rates to fight inflation. I can choose to buy a new bicycle today, or put the money to bank. If interest rates are higher I am more likely to put the money to bank for later consumption. I will not buy the bicycle this year, which reduces the demand for bicycles this year and thus their price goes down or at least does not rise.

But, inflation is also caused by lack of supply. How do we get more supply? By people starting businesses. But in order for them to do that they must get a cheap loan. But Feds have raised the rates so they can not get a cheap loan and thus do not start a new business and thus supply does not go up.

So Fed increasing rates would seem to help with demand-side inflation, while increasing supply-side problems. But demand-side inflation will fix itself, when things cost more people will spend less. So why is fed raising interest rates?

It's starting to look to me like inflation is a political problem. When things cost more people get angry and are less likely to vote for those currently in power.
I’m a weird freakish anomaly that actually prefers lighter color schemes. I’ve found that, with some tweaks, the default light scheme in Sublime Text to be pretty awesome. It’s calle Breakers. The greys are a little too light, but I find there is a bit more contrast than Solarized.
Making a clean hole through a door frame takes a few minutes at most, with an electric drill machine, after which you pass the cable through the hole, you crimp the connector on the end of the cable and you are done.

At least in Europe where I live, I have not seen any walls through which you can make clean holes with high probability. Almost always there is some small damage, which must be repaired, e.g. by filling with plaster and/or repainting. In most cases you also need a percussion drill machine, not just a simple drill machine. Here most walls are made either of concrete or of bricks.

So at least in the kinds of walls that I have seen, passing a cable through a wall requires more time, more diverse skills and a larger set of tools and materials than passing a cable through a door frame, which requires only that you have and know how to handle a drill machine and a cable crimping tool.

Giving human[1][2] drivers better situational awareness[3] is the future. Specifically open[4]:

a. Windshields that clean the inside as well as the outside.

b. Better eyeglasses[5].

c. User controllable hi-res HUD thermal IR overlay.

d. Headlights with adaptive notch filters so the oncoming vehicle can pick an empty spectral range... without the source being monochromatic (with required adaptive filters on the recieving end)... and/or really good coronagraph's.

e. Brake control[6].

Any entity capable of driving[7] in a population of humans (including adversarial humans) is sentient[8], and has real skin in the game. It would be unethical to lock one in a car:

I've managed Windows servers since the NT4 era, and it would never occur to me to make a public-routable domain controller. If the requirement came up, I would go to the n-th degree to make it "Internet safe", but how could you guarantee something like that!? It has dozens of protocols enabled, most of which were designed for private networks in the 1990s!

Microsoft has just recently made SMB safe for the Internet (Azure File Shares), but that's just one of many protocols on a Domain Controller...
4C is correct. My INT 21 function codes memory is a bit fuzzy.

Airplane mode + Briar. It's really well designed for these situations. You can share the app directly via the app. No need for cellular connections.
Yes. And it's not like human management does this "design a system" so well at the moment that replacing them with coders focused on explicit expressions of a process is going to be much worse.

A number of comments are "it will be awful if the code is bad because the code is inflexible". Yes. That's called bad law. What we want is to write good law.

"Although Homa is not API-compatible with TCP, it should be possible to bring it into widespread usage by integrating it with RPC frameworks."

Presumably the are still seasons, cloud or dust storms, and wind. Possibly also variations in supplied nutrition and water pressure, maybe even water impurities and minerals. Radiation fluctuations might lead to crop variance as well.
The theory is that the superstar employee needs the support form 9 others to achieve the success.

As an example, a super star programmer, requires support from DevOps, QA, PM, EM, UX, Docs to deliver the great results. Alone not a super star anymore.
Many of these things are holdovers from an earlier era. Have you ever used a shower from the 30s? It's like a wall of water. Using something like that compared to a generic showerhead today is wasteful. But now we're at diminishing returns territory, eking out every fractional water savings.

I think the answer is actually neither "you are bad for doing x" nor "doing x is fine", but rather that intentionality is important. Taking time to think of your impact on others and saying, "I'll sacrifice here and put a burden on others there" with intention is fine. I'm flying to my grandmother's funeral. I recognize this pumps tons of carbon into the air. I'm intentionally conscious of this and acting in a way I think others should be allowed to (funerals are important!)

> I enjoy writing Ruby, but I hate maintaining it.

This is the curse of all dynamically typed languages: they make the developer's life easier at the expense of the future maintainer of the code.

Because there are no type annotations, writing code is a lot easier than reading it.

Which is the exact opposite of what we want.
