"We present the first general model for subliminal positive-energy, spherically symmetric warp drives"

There's plenty of other reasons it's still just a theory, but that isn't one here, if I read it right.
The funding - I believe organizationally it has now grown into https://lfnetworking.org/about/members/ and fd.io is just one of the projects.

Contributions-wise to VPP: varies from time to time. On my very recent memory there were sizable IPSec acceleration patches from folks at Intel. There is a fair few one off bugfixes coming from smaller users who scratch their own itch. Pim van Pelt [0] has contributed/improved a few very cool and sizable features (Linux control plane integration, VPP yaml configurator [1])

As for difference with DPDK - does it do L3 routing? NAT ? MAP ? MPLS ? DHCP ? VPP can do all of this, and of course it’s just off top of my memory…

https://docs.fd.io/vpp/22.10/aboutvpp/featurelist.html is the autogenerated feature list based on the “claimed official features” that are tracked via YAML files in the source code.

Pothos naturally almost never flowers; it's propagated mostly vegetatively both by humans and in the wild. That decreases the risk, though I still consider the concept reckless given the lack of significant benefit. They apparently haven't yet received the USDA approval necessary to sell their GMO, though I'd guess that under current regulations they will.
Intel chose Angstroms for their roadmap nodes: 20A = 2nm.
If computational tech cannot be miniaturized then it is dead, as only at massive production quotas does the technology become useful enough to become inexpensive. This is exactly what happened with normal (non quantum) computers. Imagine if computers were still the size of a room... Terrifying thought

> Or should we pretend that everybody at twitter is a hard and honest worker?

Much like how we are asked to assume the best of posts here on HN, and presume innocence of those on trial for crimes, yes, that seems like a good place to start from.
No it definitely is technical, we need a lot of materials science and RF electronics to get things to work better with each other. We need better material growth and device fabrication techniques and better readout schemes.
What happens when you need to go out of town for an extended period? If it was just another ${X}aaS, you could temporarily suspend those plant instances and avoid the charges. Their work would be unused during that period anyway, so why pay for it? On-prem would still continue to accrue those charges. Also, what happens if you have your large extended family over for the holidays? Your on-prem plants would be unable to handle the load and start returning 504 type errors. With ${X}aaS you could just spin up a few more instances or even upgrade to larger instance types. Once the family holiday nightmare is over, you just spin them down again.
^ this, and I'm guessing it was autocorrected (because that's what almost happened to me) but the term is subluminal
I think you’re worrying too much about this particular point. If it becomes noxious, migrate later.
> hurting the poor

Same rhetoric is used against soda tax.

Sweet water isn't food. It's poison. Doubly so for artificial sweeteners.

There's an abundance of other flavored water choices, for all peoples. Some even non-harmful. Coffee, tea, horchata, oat milk, lemonaides, frescas, aqua du jamaica, seltzer, ad nauseum.

Poor people need (and deserve) free and abundant potable water. Not soda.

How many adults do you think would describe themselves as having some level of ADHD? With all the distractions of today it is a ripe market so when someone offers "treatment" with no diagnosis necessary and no actual medical professionals (I am not sure what an ADHD-coach is) it does ring a few alarm bells.
Thanks. I watched it.

That was a lovely talk and changed my perspective on C++. My impression was that C++ is a ancient language with lots of footgun.

The talk reminds me of its value. C++ is still evolving. Improvements are introduced slower compared to other languages, but still, C++ is making progress and many found it pleasant to work with. It just need more time.
There's filtering, but the spectrum should have (near) discrete wavelengths that it emits at selectively
I see slowing down during peak hours as different from a data cap.

But if 2% of your users max out the connection all day every day, and you bundle a couple hundred users onto an upstream connection, it shouldn't be hard to keep the upstream from maxing out despite tons of oversubscription.
Because it’s not offensive or incorrect. American Indians have adopted and use the term themselves. Most official American Indian organizations are named as such, and not as “Native American” or “First Nations”, though the latter is also catching on, especially in Canada.
Pothos is very easy to propagate in water. I bought one from Home Depot several years ago and now my office features 12 of them, all cut from the same plant (some are even second-generation clones)
Don't let it get you down. HN sentiment often trends grumpy when someone makes a point that's been made before. That doesn't mean it's not important to restate, extend, elaborate on, modernize, and recontextualize ideas!

There are almost 8 billion people on this planet; most claims echo prior statements to some degree.

I found your article practical, short, and largely accurate; which is to say: I liked it. I think it could be improved with either an edit or followup which links to similarly-inclined articles, papers, or talks that discuss the topic, so folks can deepen their understanding of the role of type systems in day-to-day programming and PLT.
Every drone competes favourably with Chinook on cost.

What you are comparing is capability, not cost, and by definition you cannot have an unmanned helicopter with pax.

To be honest, your reply is so disingenuous that I wonder if you're trolling?
Steve Jobs founded Apple, and was running a workstation computer company in the interim. He was in a way better position to be making sweeping changes. The 4,100 was a 30 percent workforce cut at the time. Apple had already cut 2800 jobs over the previous year so a total of about 44 percent out of their 15,800 high. They cut product lines, and decided to focus on new OS development. In 1998 they released iMac as one of the first new lines. Rhapsody didn't become a commercial OS until 2001 when they also broke into a new category with the iPod.

Elon's familiarity with Twitter is he uses it to market, manipulate markets, and shitpost. Everything else he's learned in the past year or so. He dumped 50% of staff after a week. He's saddled Twitter with even more debt, and the only revenue plan I've seen is Blue+Verified subscription with a price increase. Musk has complained about losing advertising revenue as well.

Both were/are being widely panned as being on the verge of failure. So maybe Twitter isn't doomed, but we're probably a year away from knowing.
This is the right question. Are people in his situation ever set free? What is the most common way this occurs? We can’t invade Iran. Do they ever bow to social pressure of any kind? Is there some other form of pressure or influence that can be exerted to secure his release? OP you know the terrain and norms there better than us. So how can we help?

Ever been in a place where you have a room totally barren of plants, and then able to walk into a room with plants? Which room do you feel better in? Whether it is the air cleaning or not, rooms with plants just feel so much better to me than the sterile feeling of no plants.
That's exactly how it works. There's nothing illegal about employees of one company helping out another. If Tesla shareholders don't like it - well, they can vote out Elon at their next meeting. I'm sure that will work out great for them.

In front of torrent trackers and protecting sites with 100% copyrighted content.

I've sent them +500 copyright claims over the years. It's really complicated, slow and they never take any action against these sites even after 10+ valid claims.

There's no way to follow tickets. The process requires an online form to be filled then follow-ups are by email (with no way to see the status of tickets). Tracking these claims one-by-one is the hardest I've ever seen because you don't get a ticket number after you fill the online form or get an email right away. You have to manually follow them up.

The process has never been updated to be easier for the end-user in 8+ years (since my first DMCA abuse report).

Ah crap, now it's on Hacker News too.

FWIW: I know this is a chaotic argument. I initially wrote it as a reply to another post on the internals rust forum, then I grew long enough I thought I could make it into a blog post.

This isn't a manifesto, and I didn't proof-read it against every possible objection, or try to make it perfectly neutral. I do hope it's interesting.
It's interesting to me having recently slightly broken a few years' stint of largely ignoring 'the news', at least more than I have for ages, that I've heard about the protests in Iran twice via HN now (previously via Rust 1.65 release note: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33451359) and not at all from the newspapers I've read.

(I think I'll go back to largely ignoring it, satisfied that HN is a perfectly adequate 'jumping off point' for everything worth reading, with perhaps better global coverage of the worthy stuff.)
I recently learned this from BBC's Life in Colour documentary. It explained it, similar to the article (although the paper really dances around this hypothesis), that the flies had a hard time landing due to some visual weirdness from the stripes when the flies are close up. They had a lot of close-up footage of flies hovering above a zebra's skin but seemingly confused on how to land.
Just don't find the time. I use emacs as my editor and it's slighty limiting where I can write my thoughts quickly.
Having an obscure historical claim to a word commonly associated with people who you disagree with is the best kind of Technically Correct, but not great for communication.

I was mostly trying to point out that there are disagreements about what "anarchist" means and avoid confusion.
Well, I would say it's a problem that a lot of people are trying to join the fediverse and it's currently quite difficult and confusing to do so.

I would further say there's a marketing problem that Mastodon advocates keep saying this situation is normal, expected and it's working fine, which is obviously quite offputting.
My apologies, I didn't intend to imply you were in any way wrong there -- I'd assumed that the material was omitted to keep the services from being blocked, it sounds like that was part of your reasons but I'm thankful to have learned of more of them.

I know the opacity is ultimately reddit's fault (and I've complained to them about it), but reddit these days seems almost completely unresponsive to small scale public feedback.

Thanks for the citations.

> Since I regard secrecy from authors as the bigger problem,

I guess part of the problem with the admin removals is that while the removal itself may not be secret (though it's often hidden, e.g. requiring a direct link to a removed thread), the rational and basis for it always is. It increasingly appears to be automated based on user reports and if any human is reading the text at all in many cases they must not be native english speakers. (I've noticed that a lot of the more obviously bad admin removals seem to happen in deep in the night, pacific time).

To the extent that user-community moderation is often bad and admin moderation grows in frequency in response I think we can only expect admin moderation to become more incompetent and kafkaesque: As you note, it fundamentally can't scale but they can (and I think have) respond to the lack of scalability by just doing a worse job of it rather than not taking actions.

But regardless, I understand your focus better now. If you ever do come across a way to give posters access to their own admin removed comments without creating risk or distraction for your focus on shadow moderation, I know it would be appreciated by many.
Several decades of profoundly flawed policy on an important economic or environmental topic is enough to make most people angry. That doesn't in itself make a well written article a rant, nor does the quote you cited make it a rant, though it may well make it an article you disagree with, which is quite different from a rant.
Thanks for raising these questions.

It is a client-side application firewall for Windows and Linux.
They also say: "We present the first general model for subliminal positive-energy, spherically symmetric warp drives"

Not that I understand the physics well enough to do anything with this, but as you say, there is other work that's definitely (claiming) positive-only energy densities.
I think it's very reasonable to observe the past few years of American politics and feel that words on Twitter matter and are powerful, including in heat of the moment. Thankfully / sadly depending on your point of view we don't have a counterfactual world in which we'd have had to deal with more veiled calls to violence / dog whistles to disrupt the lawful transition of power.

That seems to be the opinion of everyone regardless of political opinion: if Twitter truly didn't matter, the people who got kicked out of it wouldn't make such a big deal out of it. The fact that they do mean that they agree it's an important platform.
that is 35 cycles instead of 53 cycles he was supposed to wait

I mean, it's close enough and it works
Isn't the whole problem in there - as n - somehow this assumes that n-qubits can magically grow without a fuss - what if to entangle more quibits you need to cool the whole system down exponentially/using exponentially more energy? All those O(...) notations flip over, don't they?
There is nothing anyone here can do about the situation.
I had high hopes for Megabots, but it was pretty anticlimactic to watch. There's potential here, but nobody's unlocked the formula yet.

It does because that is solved trivially by documentation. By just work I didn't mean plug and play. (USB isn't really plug and play anyway by virtue of it being terrible.)
Which opinion do you think we disagree with?

The point we really would like you to understand is that doing meaningless pointless things that accomplish nothing is wasting everyone’s time.

If anything, people are making the problem worse.

Ask HN: Past HN post of a website designed like a garden?
Hi, I can't find a link to something that was posted here some time ago (recently). It was a website designed like a garden, where each page had one or more links to other pages and it explained how its design linked to a garden design. If someone has it it would be great
Ask HN: A less intense HN RSS feed?
I follow HN over RSS, but it seems like the feed has everything that at any point hits the front page.

Are there any less intense ways to follow the links that pop up here, whatever 'less intense' might mean to you? Maybe just posts that hit the top 10, maybe only posts that linger on the front page for a certain amount of time.
That's just not true. The "source" for US intelligence was called Curveball and the information came from Germany. The German intelligence service, BND, warned the US multiple times that the information was made up. Even the CIA's head of the European division Tyler Drumheller said that he warned George Tenet that the information was unreliable[2]. Tyler Drumheller also said that "everyone in the chain of command knew exactly what was happening"[3].

The informant was called:

- "crazy … out of control" (by German Intelligence)

- "congenital liar" (by Friends)

- "an alcoholic" (by US physician) [4]

UN weapons inspectors said at the time that the US is deliberately ignoring their information.

They KNEW for a fact that the information was false. It's not like they then found out that the information was bogus and that hindsight is 20/20 or something. It was known at the time.

It was also public knowledge in countries like Germany. Do you really think The Washington Post and other outlets don't check what the Germans had to say about all of this considering the information came from Germany? Not suspicious that the country where the information supposedly comes from doesn't want to support the war at all? Nope. The Washington Post and others didn't care. They wanted that war and supported it.

There isn't. No one on HN has any influence over Iranian happenings.
I don’t see that.

What parent is suggesting is that only the subset of things which are agreed by two parties who, demonstrably, disagree on most things, are approved and noted.

I am a neoliberal, which is why I think that.
No. I have explicitly mentioned that a single comment by someone doesn’t amount to anything. When 60% of the comments are like that, that is when this becomes a problem. Then it simply isn’t science any more. Just like when my site was flooded by memes, the original goal of the channel has been compromised.
They were. The close integration of a fast RISC chip and a framebuffer meant astonishingly good graphics performance for the late 1980s. Bear in mind, this was before VESA local bus existed, before NeXTstep, anything like that.

With a 4 MIPS CPU in 1987, you didn't need a dedicated GPU for blazingly-fast graphics.

This interactive graphics demo was supplied on a floppy with the machine. You can see it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFwpsb75omg

Realtime 3D shaded graphics in 256 colours, with no hardware assistance? I'd rate that as workstation class, certainly.

This is 2 years before the first SPARCstation, which shipped with a monochrome framebuffer as I recall.

The R140 had 1152x900 mono but could display 4096 colours at VGA resolution.

I recently switched from multiple displays to a single ultrawide screen (21:9). It's great for work -- wide enough to have a decent sized IDE in the center and two 120 column terminals on either side. I don't think I would go back to two monitors.
Perhaps, or perhaps the poster is a beneficiary of the (useful IMO) "do you want to post this again? We felt that it's good but didn't get visibility this time around" moderator outreach tradition.
> To Doug's point the junk tokens are likely at book value on their balance sheet

The linked article in turn links to coin desk which writes

>> Also, token values may be low. In a footnote, Alameda says “locked tokens conservatively treated at 50% of fair value marked to FTX/USD order book.”

That suggests to me the unlocked coins are on the balance sheet at market value and the locked at a 50% haircut.
> Liability for slander, libel, etc. should only arise if the speaker has gone out of their way to state that their views / claims are true and should be relied upon

Regarding slander and libel: The appellant wasn't charged with any sort of defamation. Criminal defamation has been quite thoroughly ruled unconstitutional.

In the civil context, defamation in general requires one to have knowingly made a false statement with reckless disregard of the truth. You also have to prove that it damaged you in some material way. (Intentional infliction of emotional distress is very, very difficult to prove.)

The bar is even higher if it's against a public figure or a so-called "limited-purpose public figure" adding the requirement of actual malice.

So I'd say the requirements for civil defamation are already quite strict.

(IANAL)
When it comes to Iranian government, there are two types of people that run it.
First group are the fanatic idiots who consider themselves at war with the west. They see anyone who who is not aligned with their view as enemy and therefore must be removed/killed.
The second group are opportunists who probably have assets abroad and will do and say anything to stay in power as long as possible to milk every last penny.
I think it's important to identify them and their families abroad. Deporting their families and freezing their assets inorder to change their behaviour.
Apropos of nothing, in 1903 the NYT confidently declared airplanes would take ten million years to develop.

I’d be happy to read about the software part of the project. How was the firmware created? Which language was used and why? How does it communicate with the host and what software do you need to run on the host?
My favorite was the time we received a new batch of controllers from a vendor, same revision number, and their RX and TX pins were swapped. When working with RS232, it's best to have a handful of null adapters and gender changers in your pocket.
Almost all your complaints are addressed with the quest pro. Especially the sweat and passthrough are all much better. I just used it yesterday to work w/horizons workrooms while at the office, and being able to see my surroundings was great.

I'm going to re-try using Immersed as well, I haven't figured out a great way to address the latency in the office yet.

Obviously, working at Meta means showing up as an avatar to a meeting isn't seen as a big or unique deal (usually more than one person in every meeting is an avatar). I do think video of someone's face is WAY more expressive than an avatar.
