I love this list... especially fond of Aster.. these are some great young directors, when given the opportunity they'll deliver something worth watching.
Notice there is a lot of overlap with A24 here.

As important as these voices are, they aren't "up and coming" directors in the classic sense. The studio system isn't interested in giving anyone here the chance to do something larger with more mainstream impact. These directors seem to be relegated to indie films, as Hollywood is no longer interested in risk taking.

To clarify: I'm not saying these aren't great directors, they are. I'm saying Hollywood doesn't want to work with this kind of talent, is no longer capable of developing this kind of talent, and wont take the kind of risks necessary to deliver the kinds of films they used to be able to using this kind of talent.

Spielberg and Tarantino are household names, because of the studio films they made. These other directors will likely never have that much mainstream appeal.
I can change the bio to a quote more literary in a bit if that'll help you address my ideas instead of my reputation.

Folks seem to pick and choose when to take me seriously in the hacker scene, which is amusing considering rumor has it "Chapo Trap House" is a reference to what the portmanteau of DNS requests coming out of my college house share looked like to the local FBI field office.

(Spoiler alert: One guy was playing a lot of illegal poker, one guy was really into certain types of pornography, and one was discovering the joys of democratic socialism as he did experiments on undergrads like Bill Murray at the beginning of Ghostbusters... guess which one was me, and you win a special prize.)
This is an article about the US deciding who the US is friends with. So I’m not really sure where your apparent outrage is originating.

No worries. One more thing you might be interested in, they also do another app called DevonAgent that allows you to do deep dive searches across different search engines at the same time including academic paper search engines. You can also use boolean operators on the search terms as well as advanced search terms such near, before, after etc as in 'term1 near\n term2' which would run a search looking for term1 within n words of term2. You can then import the results directly into devonthink for further processing. Very cool stuff.
I too have seen googles search results for any technical topic.

Everything is afaict generated content that mostly repeats itself enough times to fit in ads.
Expect this everywhere. I called American recently (whose checkin website didn't even work, so why would I think anything more advanced would) and got ten minutes of automated nagging to go use their website or app or whatever. Companies hate the idea of helping their customers anymore, they want takers who will jump through whatever hoops and incompetence they have without complaining. And they know people have no choice because they're all doing it.

Notice the coincidence of the end of proper customer service with the "abusive behavior will not be tolerated" signs. This is their way of saying, "we know we treat you like shit, but if you dare complain we'll consider it abuse". Personally I hope we can collectively push back on how horrible companies have become, but I expect it will only get worse, and worse still these actions will have all kinds of support from ordinary "useful idiots" who have some ideological reason why shitty customer service is more egalitarian or something
Crappy way to die that was. Ugh.
And also the seller cannot just say "oopsie I didn't know". Well, they must make an effort to "know your customer", instead of "better not ask".
Did you consider actually opening the link you're commenting on? The article isn't about the software you're ranting about.
OP seems very incensed even before reading the article.
Tell HN: Please stop using the IP addresses as some kind of human score
Last year I moved somewhere where the only good internet option is Starlink. I also observed that during peak times tunnelling my traffic to a VPN server gives me better realisability. So I got myself an aws instance and tunnel all my traffic through that.

Since then the internet is broken.

Some examples:
- Apple Store is throwing errors all the time
- I keep getting captchas at random websites
- Streaming services assume I’m not in US
- Websites are throwing wrong password errors, just because they don’t like my IP!
- HN thinks I’m posting too fast..

Folks, just because my traffic is coming from AWS doesn’t mean I’m a bit or scraper or scalper or hacker. Stop breaking the internet, please.
Just moved off my 8 years old project google-webfonts-helper https://github.com/majodev/google-webfonts-helper from their free tier to my own private infra and replaced the current dyno with a 301 handler: https://github.com/kenmickles/heroku-redirect

AFAIK sadly Heroku does not provide some other _free_ permanent redirect option for their *.herokuapp.com sub-domains without actually running a dyno there.
This confirms my suspicion that "domain" has no definition. If "storing data" is a domain than anything can be a domain, and the word is meaningless.

There are logical groupings of nouns and functionality into services / modules / orthogonal parts of the software. Aggregate root is one useful term here, domain is not.

And for me it further reinforces the point of the article: design functional horizontal layers, not ones locked into your business "domains".
Google "Beethoven," and look at the photo (in the US, anyway) it highlights: rather than the most famous portrait of him, that we know was done when he was alive and for which he actually sat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven#/media/Fi...

it highlights this one, of dubious authenticity (it's not even clear Beethoven actually sat for it): https://www.beethoven.de/en/media/view/6367856916692992/Ludw...

The fact that the algorithm is going out of its way to emphasize a previously much less well known image of the composer, and one where he appears noticeably darker is extremely suspicious. My guess is it has something to do with the "Beethoven was black" business, or maybe Google just localizes image results based on the demographics of the country the person is searching from? Either way, it's ridiculous.
The (unconvincing) argument is that boycotting Israel is discriminating on the basis of religion and ethnicity, and is therefore not protected under the 1st Amendment (for the same reason laws banning racial discrimination don’t violate the 1st amendment.)

It’s not a very good argument imo.
In 2003? I'm willing to bet you could have.
Your analogy makes a fundamentally different assumption - which is that you weren't already being physically assaulted or that your risk of being physically assaulted was truly negligible.

OP and creator assume that attempts at creating privacy online are always under active attack. The threat environment already exists. Publication of this tool does not meaningfully change the threat environment.

Some more analogous situations might be:

* Publicizing that police do not quickly respond to 911 calls for assault or break and entry in certain neighborhoods
* Selling lockpicks and publicizing how to pick standard tumbler locks
* Publicizing which bike locks can be cut with hand tools

The real fundamental disagreement is on the assumption of if your privacy is already under attack by competent actors.
I’m probably wrong (I’ve been deep diving into RDF triplestores lately) but I think sparql does all that and has a W3C specification.

Maybe the difference is you don’t have to convert your data into (subject, property, object) triples?

Been reading this hexastore paper and they seem to be trying to solve the same problems but I’m no data scientist so who knows.

What I don't like:

- Error handling code gets old, but at least it's always consistent and never magical
Where are you reading 1 cent/month? The cheapest way I can see to run a small app+db project on Heroku now is to use an Eco dyno at $5/month with a Mini Postgres instance at $5/month, for a total of $10/month.

If you don't want your project to sleep, you probably want a Basic dyno ($7/month) instead of an Eco dyno.

Am I missing something?

Edit: I meant to add a link to the pricing page.

1. Static linking. I agree with this, coming from JS to learning C, and having difficult time compiling things.

3. Implicit interfaces. I'm in love with this idea when I learned of it. however it wasnt obvious that this should be a thing. if you learned interface from other languages first

This paradigm shift appears to be driven in part by the increasing congestion of the sub-6 GHz frequency bands. Integrated communications and sensing devices should be able to share spectrum.
Does anybody know how the constitution applies in such situations?

Nobody does. That's the point. Circuit courts have disagreed, so the Supreme Court will define what the Constitution says.

Yes, I’m well aware of tabling. But high performance Datalog implementations will fundamentally be very different than the usual Prolog implementations. But sure, it isn’t impossible. Just long a ways from ISO Prolog.

Consider Soufflé, designed for large scale program analysis. Or LogiQL, designed for efficient incremental evaluation.

You also failed to disclose that you are not exactly unbiased individual here.
> Incidentally, the incoming president of Brazil is also an ex-con.

The incoming president of Brazil had his convictions thrown out because the process was fraudulent. IIRC election regulators went after Bolsanaro for calling Lula an ex-con.

That aside, I don't think enough people explicitly hold popular sovereignty (expressed as democracy) over the rule of law. Law that isn't subject to popular sovereignty is obviously subject to some other kind of soverign. You shouldn't be jailing people who have a reasonable chance of being elected as the head of the executive, because if the public would elect them, the public doesn't think that they should be jailed.
This is precisely how one would create a silent majority - muzzling any dissenting speech or attitude.
Good points, I'm building an open source security lake platform for AWS (https://github.com/matanolabs/matano) that lets you ingest petabytes of data and write detections as code, all in your AWS account. We take an IaaC approach so everything from config to detections is managed as code in Git.

Like:
1. Expansive Stdlib: it’s great to know there’s a working library I can rely on that will have long term investment for most things
2. Compile times are fast
3. Readable libraries. It’s pretty easy to folllow go library code
Dislike:
1. Interface{} and gotos. They are easily avoidable in production code, but they open up some weaknesses in working with third parties.
2. Error handling. It should be a compile error not to handle a Retuned error without an _.
I wrote my novel with scrivener, and while it sometimes tries to do too much, I love it. Coming from word it was a game changer for me, being able to write in any order you want and organize your scenes in the binder. Snapshots are also really good and helpful. And the corkboard has become essential for me.

Scrivener could cut some options it doesn’t do very good like publishing, that would streamline it. And syncing could be much better. But overall it’s one of the rare tools, that changed the way I work for the better.
As others have said, unemployment in the US is still pretty low. But that may not mean for the near future that plum tech jobs are growing on trees. Lots of openings at many companies/govt orgs (including military) for roles with tech skills but probably not at comp many have come to expect. See also 2000/2001+ era.

You could have just said you don't relate to the post.
28 states have passed laws requiring individuals and businesses that receive government contracts – from substitute teachers to construction workers — to certify that they will not participate in boycotts of Israel or Israeli settlements in the West Bank

What the hell? How can that be enforceable? Ok, so you sign it just so you can get the job, but then don't buy stuff from Israel (or whatever the cause/country/company is you want to boycott) - how could they force you to buy the products? This is just stupidity on the part of these states.

If the right to boycott is to be preserved, the Supreme Court must step in.

Yet somehow I suspect this supreme court will find a way to mess this up.
Twitter has lost 50 of top 100 advertisers since Elon Musk took over says report
Not if you’ve been following that advice for more than 3 years. The broad market is around the same price as 18 months ago.
In a sufficiently large organization with legal, hr, compliance, etc. it can be brutal to get someone fired for incompetence. Often they will start looking at the manager rather than the employee. Especially if you inherit a whole team of these folks and want to purge. Sadly it is often easier to just spoon feed these types of people than get them fired.
Or you’ve got sick parents, a sick kid, your own health problems, day care costs, student debt, a non-working spouse…
I could have, but then I would be saying something different than what I intend to say. It is not in fact a super reasonable concern, perhaps outside of dating, that picking up a tab will be misconstrued.

I'm in a similar situation in a very rural area, except probably worse to some degree. I do have a couple of family members local, but there's no bars, zero dating potential, no hobby groups, and no events for people my age whatsoever.

I've seriously considered moving to a city, but then I'll have to lose the tiny bit of social interaction I actually do have, my family. In some ways I want to believe I could build a better social life in a city and be happier since there's more opportunity on all fronts, but I don't actually believe that would be the case.

I've never even met my coworkers, my social life is non-existent. It's actually crazy to think it's even possible to end up in a situation like I have.

The loneliness has seriously messed with me mentally at this point and I really can't see things getting better anywhere I am. I'm not sure I could muster the will to move at this point anyway. I think I may be too far gone.

I don't have a fix for you, but I completely get where you're coming from.
I agree with you, the question I was wondering about principally was the constitutionality. Regarding your example, something very similar that's actually happening is the requirement for people applying to university faculty positions to submit a "diversity and inclusion statement" which obviously must be very clearly aligned with a particular ideology, in order to be considered. Should this be illegal? It's certainly stupid, it violates all kinds or political freedom, but then you dont have to work at a university either.
If its written on the toilet paper, yes
if you want an isolated example, there are several digital artists i had never heard of before stable diffusion started appearing in headlines and articles like this. out of curiosity, i installed sd and ran some prompts to see how well it actually emulated their styles. i was impressed enough that i ended up buying a print from one of the artists
Ok, I’m confused. Do you take notes in Obsidian or in Zettelkasten? Or both?
> you can't deny the fact that they are a strategically valuable geopolitical ally.

So ergo, we must destroy the first amendment to shield other countries from valid criticisms? I'd think we'd want our allies to respect our right to free speech above all else.

Edited to add: I even think we would want to respect our right to free speech over the beliefs of our allies.
Baseless speculation - was it because the VM was so small and well documented?

Never did program much in Lua but really enjoyed the parts where they describe the virtual machine and instruction set.

EDIT:

Link to the paper I mean https://www.lua.org/doc/jucs05.pdf

For a layman like myself this is very approachable. Again I cannot think of another VM language that has anything this small and well documented.
Of course, but the government is also allowed to decide not to do business with those people.

This case is more analogous to the case of the cake shop who wouldn't make a wedding cake for a gay couple. It's less about free speech in general and more about discrimination in doing business.
>Half of Twitter's top 100 advertisers appear to no longer be advertising on the website. A report from Media Matters for America states that these 50 advertisers have spent almost $2 billion on Twitter ads since 2020 and more than $750 million just in 2022.

Seven additional advertisers have slowed their advertising to almost nothing, according to the report, which was published on Tuesday. These companies have paid Twitter more than $255 million since 2020.

For many pseudo-random generators, it is known what their period is. For most of those, it is known that they reach all possible states.

For cryptographic quality random generators, I am not sure how much is known.

In any case, the question is a simple one, though answering it can be difficult in some cases.
I missed that, and it's an important detail.
The first paragraph...

"The United States Navy must pay $154,400 in copyright infringement damages to German software company Bitmanagement. The U.S. Court of Federal Claims awarded the compensation after the Navy was shown to have copied and used software without permission. Whether Bitmanagement will celebrate this win is up for question as the damages are less than 0.1% of the $155 million it asked for."
Are there any formal allies that are primarily defined by ethnicity and are seeing boycotts against them (which often look very much like they're boycotting because of ethnicity, not political ideology, e.g. they wouldn't boycott others for doing the same)?

> Floating point operations are not deterministic in other situations

That article was written in 2013. A decade has passed, and in modern world these situations became rather rare.

x87 FPU is deprecated and not used by 64-bit programs. Returns values are passed in XMM0 register. Temporary values are either FP32 or FP64. Modern C++ compilers evaluate FP expression from left to right, and they don't use FMA unless explicitly allowed with -ffast-math or /fp:fast compiler switch. Programmers rarely using estimate instructions because modern CPUs complete precise division and square root in 10-15 cycles, little profit from the faster approximations.

The only variable thing which remains is MXCSR register in the thread state.

> I would have to re-implement the lib math routines anyway (in my case cbrt and pow)

Or you can copy-paste them from OpenBSD. The license is permissive, they are implemented in C without assembly, and the code quality is pretty good.
Not even clear it covers legal costs.
> "We should not solve this solvable problem because other problems exist" is false.

Without commenting on the truthiness of the comment you are replying to, you have constructed a strawman argument here. They weren't saying that the problem shouldn't be solved because other problems exist, rather that it might not be solvable b/c of so and so obstacles that don't seem to have a solution.
At the root of this issue is Israel's treatment of Palestine.
Solve that, and boycotts will cease.
Everything else, including any anti-bds law, is ultimately just a smoke screen.

> If you're deploying something to mitigate the risk of brute-force attacks on your server, the problem is that it's possible to brute-force your server, not that you don't have an autoblocking system enabled.

Well, even when accepting only certificates some brute force bots are dumb enough to keep trying to connect to try passwords, and this can give a lot of unnecessary CPU load due to all the initial connection crypto handshakes.

Though I have to say most of the bots these days are smart enough to quit as soon as password auth is turned off. But 10 years ago most were really dumb. Using fail2ban was more of a DDOS prevention than a security thing.
The obvious workaround for this problem is to disable interrupts while you're changing the Stack Segment register, and then turn interrupts back on when you're done. This is the standard way to prevent interrupts from happening at a "bad time". The problem is that the 8086 (like most microprocessors) has a non-maskable interrupt (NMI), an interrupt for very important things that can't be disabled.

Although it's unclear whether the very first revisions of the 8088 (not 8086) with this bug ended up in IBM PCs, since that would be a few years before its introduction, the original PC and successors have the ability to disable NMI in the external logic via an I/O port.
Static linking predates dynamic linking by several decades, hardly unique.
> While reverse-engineering the 8086 from die photos, a particular circuit caught my eye because its physical layout on the die didn't match the surrounding circuitry.

Is there a software that builds/reverses circuity from die photos or this is all manual work?
