Carreyrou, the author of Bad Blood had an interesting Anecdote from a former employee. Elizabeth and the new employee were meeting for the first time and at the end while expressing her excitement for them joining Theranos, her tone changed to a more high pitched one. Also there is a clip from a Podcast interview where her voice changes before it then goes back to a deeper tone. Though it's not the actual Podcast.

Also her Medicine Professor while at Stanford denies that she has a naturally deep voice.
I strongly recommend all programmers at least skim Hennessy and Patterson. It will give you a much better understanding of what's happening inside the processor, the cache hierarchy, etc. Not just how it operates, but _why_ it's designed that way and what tradeoffs were involved.

Pretty accurate.

I've lost count how many times I've seen self-professed crypto fundamentalists say they'd never, ever give out their keys during duress - that they'd rather die than hand over anything. (Usually in the context of some person getting kidnapped and giving their keys to their captors, has happened quite a few times around the world)

> Perhaps we should be angry with the whole of Microsoft+Google+Samsung+Apple+etc all doing their own things, rather than sitting down in one room and agreeing on a strategy that benefits the users of all of their devices?

You mean, standards like USB-C, WiDi transfer, MTP, etc?

Because it's Apple that refuses to use those standards. I can use the same standards, no matter if Windows Phone (RIP), Android, Sailfish.

As long as you're outside of the Apple Silo, everything works fine, no matter the phone, no matter the OS.

It's only Apple that intentionally does its own thing to lock you in.
Not at all! Monero is the only crypto that ever managed decent anonymity so I think it will continue to be used in illegal marketplaces even after the rest of crypto crashes. Some interesting security research being done in the Monero community as well.

Ask HN: Has anyone found a way to avoid Windows Update KB5012170
I have an old T400 which has Windows 10 Pro 21H1 19043.2311 installed on it. It is set to boot from BIOS. Nothing related to secure boot or UEFI in sight. It is not an essential machine, but I would like to keep it in good working order for as long as possible.

A couple of weeks ago, it attempted to install the KB5012170 security update[1]. Each time, the update fails, complaining about "...[I] have less than 500 MB in system reserved partition." (error code: 0x800f0922). That is true enough, there is no system reserved partition on this computer.

Each install failure results in a crash in reboot, requires restoring system to the state previous to the install, and then the cycle repeats. I have not found a good way to block this update and/or move past it somehow and install 22H2 just for the sake of it.

The intarwebs is full of fix attempts that do not apply to a BIOS booting laptop with no secure boot setup.

I am wondering if anyone else here ran into this issue (not a common setup by any means) or if they know a way where a I can cleanly ignore this upgrade. The computer is not joined to a domain and it is set up with a local account only.

The so called "friends" always look to take advantage of you or make you act against your own interest so they can feel better than yourself and then when there is an opportunity they'll backstab you.

My life has become so much better when I cut all contact with all people I used to know - turns out they weren't friends anyway.

That being said, I limit my contacts to strictly business. If something does not benefit me, I don't engage.

> A tree view (collapsible list) can be created using only HTML and CSS, without the need for JavaScript

A bit tangential, but so much more should be done in CSS rather than resorting to JavaScript. One gripe I've always had are hamburger menus that fail to work with JS disabled. Most of my browsing is done with Safari on iOS and I've disabled JS on that browser since 1) I enjoy the privacy benefits 2) popup modals and other distractions are non-existent.

You can code a hamburger menu that opens when you click on it, without JS. Yes, CSS is not just for styling it can also be used for functionality.
Crawling websites behind Cloudflare can also be problematic if they (CF) decide that your bot doesn't fit their definition of OK. This is problematic for new search engine entrants and a multitude of other services, particularly given how many sites now live behind CF.

Years back their DNS service also stopped honouring ns_t_any requests (for reasons of DDOS amplification apparently).

I do tend to agree with you about centralisation, gatekeepers particularly.

I don't like that idea. First, personally, I'll rather pass than install that app.

Second, it would need to heavily rely on device fingerprinting and obfuscation to give scalpers hard time trying to modify the app. Software protection will likely fail anyway when both scalpers and people buying from them have aligned interests. Even if the software protection holds, the price of second-hand phones may be too low compared to price of the tickets, so the "transferability fee" has a practical ceiling, especially since the phone can be sold again afterwards.
Is there a good JS part, a tree manager that comes close to a standard component? I`ve been looking for one the last few days. The closest i've found:

I write JavaScript all day long for my personal projects and my clients. But functional programming, at least as I see in this article, looks like a lot of extra work to do something simple.

I am sure I'm missing something here. But I don't understand why I would ever need to use code like this. My clients and I value shipping code as fast as possible. This just looks like it would turn my 1 hour job into 2 hours with not much benefit.

Anyone who doesn't have a lot of experience with JavaScript or functional programming will have a really hard time reading and understanding my code. I've been coding for a long time now in JavaScript but this looks like a lot of complex code to me for simple tasks.

I want to love functional programming because everyone is talking about it. But what am I missing? What would be the benefit of recreating a language inside a language?
> Didn't taste of much

Truffles vary in taste and intensity, yet the price will easily be set on classes that ignore the quality of the single tuber. Some may taste horribly - it can happen - and yet be sold with a price following their class (not their individual merit).

I am afraid it is racist: all truffles of the same family are regarded the same by some, in spite of strong individual differences.

> Uncomputability amounts to the acknowledgement that though something may always be well-defined, there is no finite method to encompass its values

That is kind of obvious, isn't it? But some people need more convincing than others :-)
well you end up in bounded axiomatic ranges
But what this doesn't get at is that the very system of logic we use to make proofs is a social construct. Other cultures have had other systems of logic, and called valid arguments that we wouldn't today precisely because they were using a different system of logic.

So the very foundations of mathematics, the logic we use behind our proofs, is inherently a social construct that arose out of Greek philosophy as it was adapted in the west.

> Eventually I taught him how to double-clutch, rev-match when downshifting, and even how to float the shift with no clutch at all.

Most of these things are unnecessary and damaging to a synchronised manual. They aren't saving wear on any part of the transmission. About the only useful application of changing gear without using the clutch when the clutch cable fails.

Unless you are in a manual American truck or a very old British one (the European trucks had synchros). Those are rapidly going to automated transmissions these days in any case.

Out of curiosity, what kinds of performance benefits are kernelspace-exclusive, in terms of VPN apps? I've seen arguments go both ways for different applications, with full usermode TCP/IP stacks, unikernels, even running apps directly on the NIC (snabb switch); historically there were also efforts like khttpd that ultimately failed.
> I think you can make a philosophical argument that a fully formal proof, where every claim is traced all the way back to the axioms, is not a social construct.

I don't think you can make this claim really, precisely because the logic we accept as, well, logical, is a social construct. Different cultures across different places have had different ways of accepting what is valid in an argument. The methods of logic we consider valid are themselves social constructs, basically.
When I look at your messages in this thread, to me it sounds like you're doing deliberate anti-Estonia propaganda?
Oops too late too edit, should be “late the CEO”
That's actually an example of what OP was talking about. You have defined + as the operator that mimics what piles of rocks do, and defined numbers as counting rocks.

That's only a tiny fraction of what math does. An interesting and useful one, and mathematicians have put a lot of work into studying basic arithmetic. They have expanded out into numerous other forms, some of which turn out to have correspondence to the real world like non-Euclidean geometry.

Others turn out to be completely abstract and are merely curiosities. There are an infinite number of them, each containing truths, almost all of them of no interest. Interest is defined by mathematicians, not physics. Even so it turns out to sometimes be useful, such as the beautiful theorems of prime numbers that drive Internet security centuries after they were invented.

That is what the OP means. You can make up any axioms you want and prove true theorems. But the hard part is convincing other mathematicians to care.

Not really, the clinical signs were subtle, I couldn’t hear the AR. If you had a ‘protocol’ to pick up these edge cases, you would be doing a CT and echo on every chest pain that walks in the door. The workup was perfectly evidenced based and standardised.

I don’t think it is ideal to operate this way though, to be clear. Obviously this could have easily been missed by me or anyone else. But you aren’t arguing that point. You are approaching it from the perspective of minimising the variance in clinical quality. I don’t agree with you that this requires standardising how clinicians are, not just what they do.
Story Telling with Data
A very large number of academic publishing sites execute arbitrary (La)TeX as part of their online submission process. The general consensus is that it's safe if you disable a number of primitive commands that give broader OS API access, such as "write18" [1], a TeX primitive that gives you shell access. The good thing about pdf(La)TeX is that it's so old that it's pretty damn battle-hardened and I'm unaware of any recent exploits that use it. If you blow up the stack, it notes that you've done so, and dies. I think it has canaries built in, too, but I might be wrong.

It's also the width of the economic growth mindset. We fuel the 'have more devices and be free-er and independent' so naturally people can live on their own (misery).

I may be imagining things but when you live in a small place where you have no choice but to share the load and pleasure of life (granted the group is emotionally stable), you don't suffer from that. You're a jolly bunch making your place nicer, finding and cooking food, and being goofy at night around the fire.

Summary of the legal settlement:

1. One more year in which ChessBase cannot use stockfish.

2. After a year, they may use it, provided they are in compliance with GPL-3

3. ChessBase will never again distribute stockfish without obeying the GPL-3

4. If they don't, the fines and penalties go to the Free Software Foundation Europe

5. Notices on Chessbase website for a year about this settlement

6. Cooordinated amicable press release

7. Chessbase has to have a "Free Software Compliance Officer"

8. From now on, Chessbase must make truthful comparisons agains stockfish, must open source neural weights, must certify compliance with GPT-3.

9. This lawsuit is over and resolved

10. Everyone pays their own legal bills.

I am not surprised they didn't want to spend their time on litigation.

It's sad though there is no consequences for ChessBase. They got a double shot: use someone's else code ignoring the licence and the worst that could happen to you if you're caught is you comply with the license. Not a happy precedent this one.
The article itself summarizes the outcome and is only four paragraphs long.

ChessBase (1) are no longer offering for sale "Fat Fritz 2" and "Houdini" (which contain GPL code from Stockfish), (2) undertake only ever to distribute those products or any others based on Stockfish under the terms of the GPL (which in particular means making source code available), and (3) are going to have a "Free Software Compliance Officer" and a website on which they list products of theirs that make use of free and open-source software, and provide whatever downloads they are required to. Their licence to distribute Stockfish code at all gets reinstated in one year; until then the only thing they're allowed to do is to provide downloads to customers who have already bought Fat Fritz 2 or Houdini, on GPL-compliant terms.
I know nothing of OP, or the professor he talked to, but I think they might be talking about the higher level concepts of math.

For example, set theory. If set theory allowed self reference you could have set R, a set of sets that do not contain themselves. Would R contain R? It can’t, but it can’t not either. It’s self contradictory. The solution, reached through consensus, was to restrict the definition of the set to not allow sets to reference themselves [1].

I think it's not related to (Estonia's) E-residency program, but requirements by the EU to physically verify non-EU citizen bank account owners.

Similarly, (non-eu) expats who moved to Estonia with a D-visa but have not received their residency permits yet cannot get a bank account until they receive so.
I'm not sure I see the time spent with "let's catch up" friends as a sacrifice. I find it as a time to break out of my routine, get a fresh perspective on the things I'm doing, and offer the same to the friend I'm meeting. It's like a mini-vacation to go to dinner with someone I don't usually see.

The "always there to help" friends are valuable to me as well, but they're a larger part of my every day life, more like extended family, and so usually can't get me that "get out of my life and look back in" sort of interaction I can have with friends I have to break routine to go see.

Yeah. I deliberately buy imitation truffle oil made from mixing whatever-pentane into cheap refined olive oil with full knowledge that it's fake. I also buy fake saffron, fake maple syrup, and fake vanilla essence.

With all these foods the real thing is better, but the substitute is also fine.
That's literally the OPPOSITE of what's happening with truffles, though.
That's just some additional structure pertaining to, specifically, clouds. One cloud standing close to another cloud still equals two clouds, which is what 1 + 1 = 2 is really encoding.

The funny thing is, real truffles have a bit of a gasoline smell to them. At least the black and white truffles in the PNW. I’ve never tried the ultra high end Italian truffles.

I did truffle hunting training with my dog when we lived in the PNW, we found truffles multiple times. Our head trainer used to give the other trainers the high end Italian truffles as a Christmas present.

Personally, I don’t think truffle adds anything to a dish, the flavor is too strong.
TBH I would say in the case of the watch, it's held back much more by energy budgets than software; the software is just enforcing that.
