This is an interesting concept and thanks for bringing it to my attention. I wasn't aware of the case.

My take is it will be significantly more nuanced if it goes to a fight.

Bernstein v US is too blanket of a ruling to say "all code is 100% protected under free speech". It's like trying to argue "all speech is protected under free speech" - this is a gross misunderstanding. There are clear examples of things you cannot freely say - one of them being classified information[0]. Otherwise Snowden wouldn't have to fear anything (he absolutely does).

Like wise, saying all code is free speech is too obtuse. If my code was open source "puts classified_information_str" I'd be in lots of trouble.

Where this falls isn't up to me to decide - I'm not smart enough, but it's just not so clear cut.

There's another crypto figurehead who is prominently in the EA tribe: Vitalik Buterin.

I would characterise both as elite but not upper class (as in, regularly going to old money dinner/rave parties).

I don't know which of the two is more "Effectively Altruistic".. lol.

Nevertheless, I find the anti-parallels with Buterin .. charming. Vitalik is clearly less anti-intellectual, less ambitious (more Ravenclaw than Slytherin), and thus less offensive to the gods.

Interesting.. Why would Raytheon need signing keys? I have not heard or seen any OSS project in use by them ever complain about this.

Edward Snowden is a bad example. He is a SharePoint admin and traitor to the West. It makes sense that he would betray his country, hide under Putin and undermine Western companies.
I love this comment, especially your last line. It sounds so peaceful!
Yes, Todoist and Nirvana work great for personal task management, but not for teams. We want to build a tool for teams that empowers personal productivity.
From what I understand, Terry was trying to capture the magic of early personal computers, hence no virtual memory or process isolation. A low-stakes environment for hobbyists and tinkerers to play around in. Adding network support raises the stakes a bit.
It is wrong that they do not do, what the user who payed for it, asked it to do.

A task it can do, but choose to do a different task, that is better in the intereet of the corporation.

It is a quite harmles example, but it is zelling of the general state of things and where we are heading.

The Surprising History of Sprites
It does seem like it would be so easy to not fuck this up. Fees are high on the crypto exchanges and you've got so many people day trading or even trading via automation that you should do well.

But I can imagine how it happens. It is some massive fucking bull market and you see your peers doing shady things (20% APR! Zero risk!) and making shit loads of money. You've got this trading arm that is making shit loads of money during the bull market. So you do a little double dipping and it work! Hooray you are making everybody richer! So you do a little more. And a little more. And then oops Alameda is losing a lot of money. But don't worry this is just a blip. Those folks are smart. Hmmm... this is taking longer than we thought to come back. They just need some temporary money to get through this. Don't worry, they've still got huge assets. Oh fuck, their assets are tanking and they are still losing money. Kaboom.

You need to have somebody in the room who can say "yes I know this strategy is making money right now but we absolutely cannot do this." And it is already hard to have that person in the room normally, let alone when you are a company make up of people in their 20s who are told they can do no wrong and also believe that it is their moral duty to make a shit ton of money so they can funnel it into some weird effective altruism mission. If you believe you are saving the world then that 20th billion is still important, whereas if you just want to be rich as fuck then it really isn't.
That's really nice, thanks.
I think the point of using t-SNE was to suggest that if the structure were legitimate that t-SNE would find at least some of it.

This is both an interesting/fun visualization exercise and a cautionary story. Apparently UMAP has a tendency to render blobs as rings or loops!
When no one has a majority they have build coalitions and learn how to compromise. That’s a good thing.
>I would bet that both Mashinsky and SBF will spend a lot of quality time in a federal prison.

They won't, Mashinsky will NEVER go to prison for Celsius, and SBF, if somehow was to go to prison, will commit suicide on his first day there (suicide will be commited upon him but potato potato).
This is exactly what happens in existing FPP systems.

Those rules apply to access to the underlying array, they’re not a constraint on syntax for array expressions. malloc just returns a pointer, which could be in the middle of an array if malloc were an ordinary user-defined function.

It’s only special knowledge of the behavior of standard malloc that allows the compiler to assume that pointer is to offset 0 of an allocated array.
I was surprised by how much many of these companies, already huge, expanded further in 2020-21 when covid “changed everything” until it didn’t. (Hiring 10k more people in a year doesn’t make the news; laying them off does)

I wonder if part of the broad labor shortage of the last year or two was from so many people pivoting into remote roles for tech companies (not all engineering roles either). It was unsustainable. Now things are going back.
“They constantly try to escape
From the darkness outside and within
By dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good.

The man that pretends to be.”

>For item 1, certain sites don't work with Firefox when they do with Chrome. This can happen even in sites of industries that claim to want privacy / decentralisation / anti-monopoly. Some of these are government websites.

People often say this but rarely give examples, do you have some? Explicitly listing the sites would be much better feedback that might actually lead the problems being solved.
This site was better with him on it. So what if he said a lot of crazy things? If you let a crazy guy offend you, I think that's a "you problem." He did not have the position or power to act on his prejudices; he wasn't hurting anybody in any real way. Posting here obviously meant something to him, since he kept coming back and creating new accounts. It was cruel to shut him out.
Not a computer related, but I write a blog (in lithuanian language), because writing articles helps me to remember stuff I learned :) Somehow putting down thoughts to small articles does magic to my brain :)

(There's an extra bonus as that same blog helped me to find few clients for work too, haha.)
I remember seeing a 60 minutes episode in the 1980's/1990's about Israel and incendiary devices shaped like toys with bright colors.

As far as culture goes, it looks like incendiary ballons are their new toy in the 2020's ...... That culture divide is obvious too.. Thats some deep seeded mental issues in that region.

I still laugh at all the warning labels on products in the states for obvious reasons. Its nothing compared to those other cultures
Smartphones are super useful for everyone, radar not so much.

That said would be nice to someone like google just added a layer on google maps of all objects you can track. There are companies that do all sort of tracking, just not as cheaply as this.
1) Semantic search for legal documents. Found it annoying that, as a lawyer, I have to use search engines that require me to guess the keywords that might be used in the documents I'm looking for... as well as to skim through the entire documents the system found in order to judge whether or not they are relevant to my case.

2) Discovering audiobooks I'll enjoy. Someone here on HN mentioned "random sampling" as a great technique to get a feel for a domain without getting biased by one's pre-conceived notions. I thought that would be awesome for books, to literally "not judge them by their cover".

3) Search engine for pre-owned Teslas. Quickly see what's good value based on age/mileage per price, as well as being able to see how long I'll have to wait, on average, to get a particular set of features for a particular price (based on historical market data).

Plus several others.
"The page's WebCounter count says that you are visitor number number"

In 8 bit world you have to think about integer overflows for visitor counts of small websites.
I have experienced similar issues with Plex (feature bloat), and I just tried out Jellyfin. It seems to do everything I want, with one big exception: I can't get subtitles to render. I did some searching, and it looks like this is a known problem and has not been fixed. Happy to be proven wrong, since everything else about this software looks great. But I need subtitles.
The point of a jury isn't competence, but independence. A judge may be afraid to convict a powerful defendant or acquit an unpopular one, because he has his career to think about. A jury has no such issue.
I don't really understand storing lots of common media. Storing your own photos I get, since only you have them. But how many times do you watch the same movies/shows over again?

Storing music makes a bit more sense, at least if you had the original media and it was ripped well. But that doesn't take much space at all; nowdays you can easily fit a huge music collection on a small storage device or even just in your phone+cloud drive+computer.
Problem is that this is only apparent in hindsight. How do you tell apart Theranos and something like Color Labs[techcrunch]? Sometimes it isn't even clear in hindsight. From the outside, both are novel ideas. Both had talented workers working on novel ideas.

I don't know enough/anything about biochemistry so I don't know if the vision Theranos sold was even possible but how do I know that the all public all the time but only to someone physically nearby you photo sharing idea (of color) would work either?

How do you decide who to back?

Central bank reserves are not a liability because they don't entail a financial obligation. They're only listed as a liability on the balance sheet because it's convenient from an accounting perspective. When a central bank buys a bond, they use reserves, which are not a liability in a financial sense, therefore the central bank makes an instant profit. Even if the bond were to lose 80% of its value, the central bank would still make a 20% profit. Bankrupting a central bank is a lot harder than you think.
Ask HN: What metaphor did someone use that helped you “grok” something?
When I learned swimming as a kid, I struggled with coordinating how my legs were supposed to move. It seemed that I could either focus on my arms, or on one leg, but never on both legs, and much less on arms and legs together. Then my swimming instructor told me, "Move your legs just like a frog". That did it. That one metaphor took all the cognitive overhead away for me. I instantly "got" it.
I have several projects that I develop just for myself.

One is a command line based database browser/editor. PhpMyAdmin for the terminal, so to say. I do all my database work inside of this editor. The terminal is just so much faster. And has many benefits like that I can use it over ssh and in containers.

Another one I started recently and already use is a terminal based project planner that is completely file based. Each task is a text file.

One that I am currently planning is an ActivityPub client. Like Mastodon but way way leaner. For now, I am basically playing with ActivityPub requests on the command line. Later, I will add a Python web interface on top of it.
At first, I thought you had a good point. But apparently, the study is already exploring this effect.

So, now, the situation is that you have seen a study with results that you don't like, have come up with a reason why the conclusion is invalid without even checking if the conclusion is indeed invalidated by this reason, and used it to reassure yourself and attack the study.

In this case, you are clearly the unscientific irresponsible here.

Reason #2 at the link is why we absolute must have a reallocate-and-move primitive - because it could be much faster than allocating and copying: It would have a higher chance for copying by virtual memory page remapping. Of course, just plain copying might also use virtual memory page tricks; I wonder which platforms do that (if any).
It's the same because both are visualizations of prime factorizations. And if you check out the Twitter thread posted in the comments here, you'll see that the "loops" are probably convergence artifacts (they should just be blobs) and that the clusters seem to correspond to the number of prime factors and the largest prime factor: https://twitter.com/hippopedoid/status/1318917905736716288, which makes sense because those are the input features to the algorithm.
The problem is how limited peoples power really is. Voting every four years for a “representative “ is not enough. Look for Swiss style direct democracy
Here in Norway we have multiple parties. What has happened in the last few decades is that none of the big parties have enough votes to get majority on their own, so they have to work together with smaller parties. This creates an inversion of power, where the smaller parties gain significantly more influence than the number of seats would indicate.

The smaller parties have little to lose playing "my way or the highway" during negotiations, so end up getting at least some top items from their program pushed through. This has led to some rather poor laws and regulations in recent times.

That said, while I've thought about this vs the US two-party model a bit, I think I prefer what we got over here.

I've been working on a platform to help teams deal with their deadletter queues. It's very much a scratch my own itch project as it's solving a problem that I've faced while at my day job.
It can be quite painful to add them afterwards and while the program might now be shortlived, this might not hold true in the future. And just maybe if one doesn't want to deal with manual memory management, then pick a tool/language that doesn't require it?

Maybe a practical alternative to this—that would still reap the performance benefits—would be to have an allocator that postpones frees until certain time (or e.g. number of bytes allocated) has been passed since the start of the program, and after that point works like normal alloc/free.

Actually this is not far from how garbage collecting languages work..
For me it was getting into microcontrollers and (microcontroller based) electronics.

Tinkering with IOT projects using an ESP32 is engaging because they offer both, a variety of high level connectivity features ( wifi, ble) and direct integration with sensors or other Hardware.

Modern ones can even be developed in Rust and are not as constrained hadrwarewise as earlier generations.

I recently got back into developing some small "just for me" games with Godot and also got a surprising amount of enjoyment out of trying out Blenders procedural geometry and material node systems.

Iirc, the electoral college and representatives were put in place because the [rich] founders knew the Demos can not be trusted to fairly govern itself. Election by lottery is not better because it's the same people with the same foibles.

When the Greeks did sortition, it wasn't perfect either. Laws ended up favoring the richest landowners, and the richest landowners tended to have a higher representation (in the boule anyway). They tried various means to engineer the problems away, but they persisted. This is because it's nigh-impossible to prevent human beings from figuring out a way to exploit a system when they are committed to the task.

Another way to have a superior political body is to make it superior and hold it to a standard. Rather than select average people, there should be basic requirements of intelligence, ethics, acts of good will, and the abandonment of luxuries, rewards and favors, in exchange for the support of the state. The state should support the education of the populous toward this end. In addition, the judgment over matters of serious concern should be presided over by experts. No decision of serious concern should be made without a meta-study, to root out bias and find the best possible solution.

Basically, we should hold ourselves and our political process to the highest standards, rather than the easiest ones. Let the noblest and wisest lead us in a structure designed for reason and fairness.

In my view, it's a personal confidence thing. People raised in a (UK traditional) working class family are bought up with lower expectations about what success they can enjoy in later life[1], compared to people raised in (traditional) middle class families. They will generally have less educational advantages eg: less pressure to read books, finish homework, do extra-curricular activities, etc. Getting to university will require harder work in a less friendly social environment. So when it comes to work, working class people will (in general) tend to have less confidence to negotiate a wage equivalent to their middle class colleagues doing the same work. Of course there's numerous exceptions to this on an individual level[2], but we're not talking about individuals here.

[1] - anecdotal evidence: despite having an excellent academic record at school, the first question my Careers Advisor asked me was: "So which Regiment are you planning to join?" - which kinda sums up the sort of assumptions people made about me, based on my family's reputation and circumstances.

[2] - me, for instance (I'm ignoring, for the purposes of this comment, the 7 weeks I spent in the Army).
It's also very common in general to use this "one-hot encoding" in statistics and machine learning.

In many cases using all 2s or all -10s would produce the exact same result in theory, but with more work by the optimizing algorithm, possibly with adverse results as described above.

It's easy to reason about mathematically, too. If the input vector is all 1s and 0s, it's easy to read off the result of multiplying that vector with another vector. Norms of binary vectors and dot products between binary vectors are super-easy, and have a nice correspondence with counting the appearances of elements.

It also corresponds to an array of Boolean values which is conceptually appealing, because that's basically how it's constructed.

With a couple of specific exceptions, there's little reason not to use all 1s.
