If they are not needed for core functionally, why are they part of the standard? It's not just IT departments not able to grok v6 that's the problem, IPv6 implementations are a total crapshoot in terms of quality. Some are great, a small few are terrible or straight up don't work at all, and way too many perform perfectly in common situations but blow up in an uncommon edge case. A significant number of devices (especially in industrial, healthcare and scientific fields) still don't support it at all. This both is caused by and perpetuates lack of adoption on the user side.

Reduction in scope and complexity makes it easier to implement high quality IPv6 stacks. We also need more high-quality reference implementations available for newer and underserved platforms, but that's a different subject.
> It implies (rather, it’s just another way of saying) that no strictly correct algorithm can exist for detecting cycles on the state-space graphs of arbitrary Turing machines.

Yes, what you said is strictly correct, but that's not how the Halting problem is usually presented nor how it is usually understood.

Normally, you don't hear people saying: "the Halting problem is undecidable for Turing machines", and that's it, everybody understands what's going on and the limitations of that statement.

Instead, it is usually said: "The Halting problem is undecidable". And then they say: "Here, let me show you that it's undecidable using this clever proof, which uses a Turing machine as a model".

And then, more crucially, they don't say "But of course, this proof is completely wrong if you assume that the program runs on a finite-state machine. And not just that, but it is proven that it is decidable in such circumstances".

> I honestly think you understand this and are just being intentionally obtuse.

I understand in general, but I might misunderstand particular statements in some precise way. I'm not intentionally being obtuse, I promise you.

There's a lot of nuance in this topic and when we're not being mathematically precise it's easy to misunderstand each other.
I generally agree.

I mean 'triggered' in the PTSD sense of the term since I have PTSD. I'm nominally the population served by trigger warnings, but I find the cultural practices around them not helpful because they assume a common experience when PTSD triggers are very personal and in addition trigger warnings are accompanied by a 'walk on eggshells' culture which clashes with the desensitivity/disassociation that also accommodates PTSD.

And I am in therapy, thanks. You should probably take some reading comprehension classes though.
I used CDC computers from about 1983 to 1992, NOS and NOS/VE operating systems. Truly awful.

CDC, at least, did not "fall victim" to anything. They decided they were the best, they battened down the hatches and refused to change even one little bit. They actively refused to change with the times, to incorporate any new idea.
Its ok. A developer was recently hired to work on it full time though!

Sure, and if your 4 year old son draws 2 sloppy stick figures representing him holding your hand, that's going to be valuable to you in a way a stranger's precocious 10-year-old child's drawing isn't (no matter how good it is).

But does that make it more artistic than something generated by AI which was coaxed out by a human applying their expertise?
The suggestion is not to penalize all websites that share some minor amount of content with SO but to remove websites that copy tens of thousands of comments from SO and do not provide any other value. It’s a pretty easy to identify and implement this distinction.
This is good to know. I bought knock-off goretex ski gear because I wanted a very specific style that only exists in a cheap brand (and I mean cheap, like $50 for jacket and pants). I was very surprised at its performance but I’ve only used it a few days so far, so no idea about the longevity.
Well, I think we're pretty much on the same page regarding where the complexity comes from.

For Twitter though I'm thinking though that they should have put a lot more effort in simplifying the systems/processes/data they store. This might even mean pushing to remove some business requirements that a PM might have introduced just for a promotion to reduce software complexity.

If you don't reward people for refactoring and removing complexity, I don't think you can just blame it all on organic growth.
Twitter is currently having trouble making Twitter (and always has), so there is a 0% chance this will happen. There's no appetite to give Musk more debt at this point, so he has no way to fund it.

Cat infects human A, who feeds cat in a fit of unprecedented affection. Human B sees another human with a cat and wants to be their friend. Repeat until cat friend puddle is too large for local flora to sustain. Human Z invents agriculture, attracting rats. I'm not sure this is terribly plausible, but I do have a cat on my lap.
I'm not sure it works like that. There's not an unlimited market for "things that look like original paintings". Demand won't scale with supply and "and thus their salaries" seems to ignore a couple of iron laws of economics.

However - I do wonder if this will increase the value of non-digital arts and crafts. They can't easily be substituted for - which is probably one of the key factors in establishing value in the art market.
That comparison chart is not very accurate. The Core i7-1250U CPUMark score of 13453 is at 29W (TDP up), not 9W (TDP down), so the performance per watt ratio they're using is inaccurate. Also, if you look at the CPUMark score distributions, you see a bimodal distribution because it mixes the 10 W (MacBook air) and 15W (MacBook Pro) configurations.

The 10W (MacBook Air) variant of the M1 achieves a median CPUMark score of ~14500. That's a lot better than the Intel CPU's 13453 at 29W. Now, if you limit the Intel CPU to a lower TDP by underclocking, the performance per watt can improve substantially (since the efficiency plummets when going for peak clock speeds), but it's still considerably behind the M1.
Not even close when it comes to build quality if we're being honest
This just made my night. Thank you so much!
Ask HN: How can I (20~ yr senior engineer) make some money?
I am posting this under a throw away account.

I took some time off for close to a year for personal health reasons (and to make my own applications) and now I'm looking for employment.

I am an excellent generalist engineer, but lately I cannot get hired. I do have several active job interviews in the works, but they aren't promising and the hiring process is very slow. I'm putting in resumes to many companies online each day.

I do not know if it is the current economic situation or my obvious age based on length of career (early 40s) but my I am having a hard time getting an offer and even my network is dry.

I am quickly running out of money and my #1 immediate priority is getting ANY sort of cash flow so that we (my family) don't get kicked out of our apartment (my wife has health issues that prevent her from working in public, she is also unemployed).

Long term I am trying to release my own applications and services.
I can build basically any web based app, video game etc. within reason but I feel it will take months to establish a user-base for anything I have prototyped and there's no guarantee that will happen at all.

The problem is that I need money now. I don't have time to f-around in the immediate term.

The suggestions I'm hearing from friends / family are "try to get a job at <min wage company here>" which I will try but this assumes I would even be offered an interview and I find that unlikely.

I can get by on low cash flow, but I need to get it flowing - any amount.

How can someone in my situation make some honest cash fast?
Thanks! I didn’t realize uBlock can remove specific domains from Google search, but looking at filter definitions it makes sense.

Personally I'd not deploy these files. Although that would be more to do with not having to discuss it yet again with auditors or pentesters than it would for actual security.
> Stable Diffusion? Well, that’s free-ish. Problem is, you’ll probably want to run it locally, which requires a really, really beefy graphics card. I was struggling to run it on a Vega56 - a GPU that goes for ~$150 used now - so I went out and got a RTX3090 for about $1,000. If you’re already a gamer with a GPU with 8Gb+ of VRAM you’re probably good, but for most people this is a bit absurd.

I agree with the problem, on platforms like AWS you'll even need to send a manual request so they would let you use instances which can run SD. On the other hand there's already something like replicate.com, which allows you to run the SD like an API. I hope there will be more services like this.

Because English is a terrible, thrown-together, inconsistent language, and nobody even using English words can keep completely straight what words are spelled "ie" or "ei".

There's a rhyme they teach children who are learning to read, "I before E except after C".

No matter what extra verses they add, there's still plenty of exceptions. English spelling is not consistent no matter how many rules you add to it.

>Artists should rejoice, in my opinion, mastering this type of tool could dramatically increase their productivity, and thus their salaries.

Salaries do not increase with productivity. Rather, they tend to remain constant or even decrease as productivity rises, as technology makes that level of productivity easier to hire for, and thus less costly for the employer.
> Elon Musk is not an idiot because you can read a .gitignore from tesla.com.

Thoughtful comment.. It sounds like you see a need that's not being met, a potential for some software between a fully visual builder (for designers, marketers, content creators) and a code editor (for actual programming, developers building custom components). I'm curious how that would work, what features you imagine are missing from page builder products.

On this topic of "visual web application builder", people often mention Hypercard, or Dreamweaver (with a lesser awe and respect :). I think these were able to bridge that gap between visual GUI and textual code, where both designers and developers can use the same tool across these different ways of representation.

> It contained a letter informing him that he had been investigated as well as copies of the search warrants served on Google and his internet service provider. An investigator, whose contact information was provided, had asked for everything in Mark’s Google account: his internet searches, his location history, his messages and any document, photo and video he’d stored with the company.

> *The search, related to “child exploitation videos,” had taken place in February, within a week of his taking the photos of his son.*

So maybe no crime occurred, but google doesn't want that kind of user. I assume you can just type "child exploitation videos" into Google without breaking the law, but google may terminate your account.

A couple of years ago I wrote the script for a graphic novel. I would have liked to illustrate it myself (I went to art school after all), but I was too busy running a startup at the time, so I pitched it as a collaboration to about 30 different artists that I thought could do a great job with it. I could not get a single person to bite.

In my pitch I proposed generous royalties and cash compensation to the artists. All of them essentially said that they weren't taking commissions. I'm sure this is in part due to the fact that I have never been involved in the graphic novel world, so they'd be taking a chance on someone new. Still, it seemed there was no amount I could pay to get someone to work with me.

Now I am reviving this graphic novel idea and still looking for someone I can pay to help me work on the project. However, the more synthography advances as a technology the more it seems like I should explore it as a path for this project. It would help me develop the book much faster than I can on my own. At minimum it could help me get the story board in place.

Maybe some day synthography can help artists scale up their output, in the same way Michelangelo developed a workshop of apprentices. I would be more than happy to pay an artist's AI apprentice if I can't work directly with the human.

As so many pronunciation issues for native English speakers in other languages this goes back to the great vowel shift or the great vowel movement as I like to call it. I essence because of fashion English speakers decided to swap how vowels are pronounced and it's now out of sync with how other languages pronounce the same letters. Must be one of the most costly fashion trends in human history. It's also hard to understand to me why this isn't the first thing you learn in any foreign language class in English speaking countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Vowel_Shift
Sure, I'm just saying it makes an executable file upload more likely. Because if a file like settings.php is executable by Apache, it implies that (at least in this directory) any .php file is executable by Apache, rather than a single whitelisted index.php or some wsgi setup.

So maybe the same configuration applies to a user upload directory. If you find a way to upload a .php file to a web directory on the same server, there is a possibility you can execute it - with higher success probability than if you did not know about settings.php being executable.
Sure, that's how things used to be.

In addition to what others have said about route stability, there is possibly a more relevant point to make: for 'ingress' traffic, the anycast IP is the destination, and for 'egress' traffic it is the source. This distinction is important because the system doesn't have any reasonable way to anticipate where the reply traffic to the anycast IP will actually route to. A packet is launched to the Internet from an anycast IP, and the replies could come to anywhere that IP is announced - most likely not the same place the connection originated. Contrast to when the (unicast) client makes the first move, and the anycast node that gets the initial packets is highly likely to get any follow up packets as well, so in the vast majority of cases, this works just fine.

Art Turing test: If you can't distinguish between human-made art and AI-made art, then there's nothing backing up your emotional bias.

It doesn't matter anymore that you emotionally value, or want to emotionally value, human-made art more than AI-made art, if you can't distinguish the two except based on other people's representations of how it was made.

Unless you watched a (non-augmented) human make a piece of art, you have no assurance that a human didn't touch up an AI generated art piece or simply curate a collection of fully AI-generated art.

ETA: I'm not trying to put down recognizable human-created art that's already been created, especially historically notable works. I'm not sure what all those replies are trying to get at. Of course there can continue to be an art-collecting market for human-made works made before the AI-art era.

> the law authorizes the President of the United States to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court"

It might not be expressly stated, but it's pretty clear. Sure, it's a super-extreme case - but it's there, explicitly saying "by all means necessary ...".
It seems there are a few distinct things we have to consider:

How is art defined? How is it defined by artists and how is it defined by consumers. Some artists may want to define it such that it's made by people. Much fewer consumers would make that a requirement (aside from some art collectors). Consumers will care much less of how some art was generated and they will dictate demand.

1. Because, realistically, you have to hold relatively large amounts of USD. Transactions take time, they cost money, they're volatile, US currency markets might be 12 time zones away -> Reserves aren't just economic insurance for bad weather, they're also buffers.

The big difference:

2. Since you need large reserves (see 1), why hold USD and see it inflate away? No one holds USD. What they hold and trade are treasuries. The return is small, but if you have 10 billion in reserves, 100 million isn't spare change This is the real lynchpin:

- the massive market for treasuries significantly lowers the cost of the US' deficit. The US can debt finance itself artificially lowering taxes or inflation.

- To maintain this position, "dollars" have to available -> the US must run a deficit. If there were no more deficits, the debt would wither, there would be a global monetary contraction.

- Effectively this is a way of exporting inflation: the treasury issues debt -to finance government -> the t-bills are treated as equal to USD -> the excess currency is soaked up by 8 billion people instead of 330 million

- unlike cash, the treasury can wake up one day and wipe (I mean "freeze") your account if you've been naughty. Imagine PayPal writ large.

In the short run it works great for the US, but in the long run it makes exports more expensive therefore eroding US industry. Short term gain for long term pain? Politicians love it!
