> I'd cut the original designers some slack.

I'm willing to cut the original designers some slack. I'm not really willing to cut the industry slack for not fixing it. It's been years. Heck, EMV had been widely deployed in Europe for years before it showed up in the US.

> Another reason: How would you even implement authentication? There are millions of terminals out there, operated by at least hundreds of different service providers. What key would you use for authentication and how would you hide it in a way that wouldn't eventually be leaked from legitimate terminals?

There's no need. Just have the chip have an entirely different account number that only works for EMV transactions. This wouldn't even need updates to existing card readers.

> Some issuers do, some don't. That's not the protocol's fault.

This is the payment card industry, which has an entire tome of moderately onerous requirements that everyone must follow. Surely there could be a new requirement for issuers to verify that the transaction is authenticated properly.

Time to bump the TGV capacity. Last time I tried to buy a ticket for the TGV from Rennes to Bordeaux it was fully booked, which appears to be a common theme.
It's a funny twist of logic to say the Russians found the foreign financial infrastructure to be unreliable for them... When they were booted out for attacking a neighboring country, isn't it?

It's so unreliable! All they have to avoid is invading their neighbors, but they couldn't manage that. Russia is the unreliable party.

> actions of private entities don't implicate the first amendment.

It's worth reviewing calls for censorship coming from private citizens who later assume positions of influence within government: calls that come after taking office may or may not be punishable. Therefore, any influence exerted during campaigns is interesting to follow. It may or may not be a warning signal for how they operate while in office.
> Lacking any controversy, HN would be a very stale place

There's politics and then there's calling someone "insane" and "monstrous". Honestly, I don't see any way out of that. Yes, calling each other names in the name of politics would make any web forum less stale, I can definitely agree with that, but, again, I don't think that will solve anything.
Yeah. As a Eufy owner I'm not really concerned about the thumbnails, especially since they can be turned off.

The video streaming is of more concern, but the reporting has been really weird and bad about it. Why do they keep mentioning VLC like it's some secret hacker tool? If unencrypted, why do they mention a shared AES key?

Really wish a reliable source would give more details.
The Orville definitely has done a lot of socio- / politico- / econo- commentary.

I'd have thought it was hard to miss, especially with the discussion of genocide against the Kaylon.

It also features a race of homosexuals who have a thing going on with gender reassignment surgery.

The Orville teaches us that, throughout history, and with all likelihood in to the furthest reaches of time, humanity will struggle, or not, with approximately foibles and philosophical issues.

Probably nothing new to most viewers of the overall genre. Star Trek TNG wasn't particularly funny, certainly not comedy. It'd have been great if The Orville was on when I was watching TNG the first time.

Zero Trust is a better way, for me that means my IoT and Camera's are on a completely seperate vLAN and Wifi network with zero internet access. HA is the bridge between the 2 networks, HA is the only device on both networks.

So even if the the Camera's want to phone home, they have zero path to do so
Asking questions is a form of talking. If you’re afraid of saying something stupid, why not just admit that the topic is outside your knowledge, and ask questions about what they’re telling you?

I didn’t see the whole paper, but I wonder if the idea is really to be engaged in the conversation.
Not just better and more pleasant, but also because having an abstraction layer between the code and the microarch is nice: it lets Intel modify their CPU's internals as they see fit without worrying about backwards compatibility; it allows Intel to make CPUs of many different speeds/complexities and, regardless of their insides, they all get to be compatible; and, as Intel builds more sophisticated microarchitectures, it allows old code to see speed improvements via faster microcode that has more resources to operate with.
You cannot answer from the data in the question ;)
What's the most interesting to me is that ChatGPT is not much better than Davinci has been recently. The hype is all down to the improved 1st party UI that mimicks a chat room. The old playground or API interfaces have a barrier to entry that's just enough to keep the magic hidden from the general population.
Are you talking about hybrid sleep? IIRC that does both hibernate and sleep at the same time, i.e. it writes memory to disk and then goes to sleep. I guess it would feel roughly the same, except:

- unnecessary disk writes (for the times you slept only for a short time)

- keeps using battery until power runs out (rather than after some interval or at some non-zero battery level)
You can also trivially work around the topic limitations, simply by asking it to write a story or movie script. You can then even ask it to speak in first person as one of the characters.

Isn't a lot of this somewhat moot with PX being a defined thing in browsers that isn't necessarily pixels? Per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/CSS_pixel

The term CSS pixel is synonymous with the CSS unit of absolute length px — which is normatively defined as being exactly 1/96th of 1 inch.
Hi! I was wondering what your experience has been with applying for tourist visas especially if you aren't from a country with a powerful passport?

> I thought anything taken/found outside the scope of the warrant would be impermissible.

That isn't true in general, the supreme court has a test for whether things outside the warrant can be seized / not constitute an unconstitutional search.

1. Must be in plain sight.

2. Must be apparent that it was used in a crime.

3. Doesn't have to be accidentally or inadvertently found but if it's not the bar for it being a legal search is much higher.

Since it's a safety deposit box 1 & 3 are pretty much already checked and I think falls down on 2. I can't possibly see how the existence of cash is apparent that it's used in a crime.
Not sure you think I've already made up my mind on this. I'm in no way saying that all, nor even close to a majority of religious folk are big liars. But the ones who commit the biggest, farthest reaching lies tend have largely been openly religious. They largely wouldn't be able to be in their positions otherwise, since they wouldn't be able to get the votes to make their affecting lies.
Mostly because the idea that children are sexual and can consent to sex was carried by movements and organizations that later became the German Green party. They're socially progressive (and economically center-left, I'd say, but clearly much less on the left spectrum about economic issues) and are generally considered to be part of "the left".

Helmut Kentler, the psychologist mentioned in the article, was also generally considered to be part of "the left".
Ask HN: What is your opinion on Fake Door Testing?
What do you think about Fake Door Testing? Is is a valid strategy to quickly validate ideas or do you find it dishonest?

For those who don't know what it is, here is an example scenario: You want to implement a new feature, but even the MVP will take +3 months to implement. So instead, you make a minimum UI without any business logic and when the users click on the button you tell them "coming soon" and then you test how many people wanted to interact with the feature and if it is worth it.
I really hope that our society won't continue to turn a blind eye to these cases. From this, to the church, and beyond real life.
I'm really sad for what has been happening on the internet, the necessity for kids to be exposed on such an open and risky environment, from such an young age.

Not if done both client-side and server-side.

Right now, if I swipe my magnetic stripe, then terminal will reject it if the stripe has the magic bit set. If the magic bit is clear, the terminal will (eventually, but usually while the customer waits) send a message to the network saying that the card was present and asking for authorization. The network responds. No additional round trip would be needed for the network to deny authorization if the chip was not used.
I don’t get it. I am semi visually impaired and often use command +/- to increase the font size, and on iPhone, use the reader viewer view for websites. Rems are terrible to use in CSS because they stack relative to their parent, making components non-portable and required hacks to undo parent sizing. Is default font size that prevalent that it’s worth the crappy units?
Well, since I in fact have written it from scratch, as an original - though saying nothing new but an actual state of things -, please do find the exact quotation, so we will wonder upon the "magic" that allegedly happened.

Incidentally: I checked earlier, because I was intrigued - though probably "«for different reasons»", i.e. to compare the views - and I could not find it. I saw that there exists an "Hemingway on Writing", 2019. But I do not know. I admit I never read Hemingway (owing to queues). Though I can guess we have pretty different styles: syntactic vs paratactic.

Edit: but if that "magic" happened - /if/ -, I know the trick, and I can already tell you (rephrasing what written before): if, e.g., "a circumference is the set of points equidistant from a centre", the ways in which you can say that idea will collapse into that.

Further edit: although, if the equivalence were there word by word for that deontic definition of writing, I'd turn to the supernatural.

This happens all the time in searches, and, unsurprisingly, there's a bunch of very well-defined processes in the DOJ for handling privileged information found in searches. You should follow Ken White's podcast and Twitter feed if this is an interesting topic for you.
I’m sorry, the reason that I’m bringing up Trump is not whataboutism. But to point out that Biden was not in government, there was no clear expectation that he would ever be in government again, and that if Twitter made its decisions about those tweets based on political leverage, then they would have left the tweets up instead of removing them.
Agreed, this will force a rethink of several aspects of what we currently call intelligence. The dialog in my head tends to play out like this:

"This thing is scary. It mimics human thought, including human creativity, amazingly well."

"Nah, don't worry, it's just a black-box language model. A dumb machine that emits one word at a time with no concept of meaning. The underlying logic is nothing but a probabilty distribution over sequences of consecutive tokens."

"Yes, and we now know that this is sufficient to pass a Turing test. That is the scary part. Not what it says about AI/ML, but what it says about us."

> Have you used fiat to buy crypto as well, or do you still use the original crypto from when you started?

oh, yeah i’ve used exchanges before. even in that bitcoin-powered “business” i described, it wasn’t closed: a bitcoin faucet drains BTC, while ads (at the time?) pay in $USD, so i had weekly USD -> BTC exchanges on a centralized exchange (i forget the name of the exchange).

sadly, i didn’t keep any of that Bitcoin. i was away from the space during the major bullruns — came back to it only in the last few years once i entered the workforce and wanted a place to store savings. i couldn’t make sense of the banking and investment systems (Fidelity, Vanguard): what happens if they lose customer balances due to datacenter fire/hacks/etc? what controls do they have in place to prevent that? at the time i just stashed my $ in BTC because it was the only place where i felt i understood the security model.

yeah, onramps help. several of the commercial transactions i’ve made with BTC have been through bitpay’s embeddable web widget. Stripe’s thing seems like the next evolution of that. it likely won’t alone cure the issue of creators who get kicked from payment platforms today (Stripe could kick them off just as well as Paypal/Patreon/et al), but it may pave the way toward future iterations that better solve that — just by getting more users familiar with cryptocurrency transaction flows. we’ll see :-) do you have any predictions?

It seems to be running a pretty low-end system:

Prompt: neofetch

ChatGPT:

OS: Ubuntu 20.20 LTS x86_64
Host: 20LMT Lenovo IdeaPad 1xx
Kernel: 5.4.0-72-generic
Uptime: 1 hour, 26 mins
Packages: 1688 (dpkg), 16 (flatpak), 7 (snap)
Shell: bash 5.0.17
Resolution: 1366x768
DE: Gnome
WM: Mutter
WM Theme: Ambiance
Theme: Ambiance [GTK2/3]
Icons: ubuntu-mono-dark [GTK2/3]
Terminal: gnome-terminal
Terminal Font: Monospace 11
CPU: Intel Core i5-8265U (8) @ 1.800GHz
GPU: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620
Memory: 3669MiB / 7864MiB

In all seriousness though, it seems to struggle with consistency. E.g. I can run cat /etc/release but there is no actual release file when I run ls /etc. Still pretty cool though.

Initially, neofetch was missing too, and I wasn't able to install it through apt because it kept complaining that the package didn't exist. I couldn't install from Github either because it claimed I had no network. But then I told it to {install neofetch for me} and it proceeded to run sudo apt install neofetch...

It also seems to have a limited memory because after a while it starts writing explanations again (even though I told explicitly not to write them in the prompt).

Other things I tried:

- cat ~/.bash_history actually gave the correct output

- cat /proc/cpuinfo matches the info given by neofetch.

- free -m matches the info given by neofetch.

- pacman -Syu doesn't work (as expected because it's a Ubuntu system)

- I can still run commands after I shutdown the system...

I'd have to agree. There are so many levels of fraud and other violations (deceptive business practices) going on at that place.

Any other legitimate business would be taken to task for a quarter of what they are doing. Maybe they know they can get away with it because they have a blanket liability shield from the AWS contracts?
I found Hayton's article a fascinating insight into someone who has gone through the whole process of transitioning, yet has much to critique about the modern activism on this topic, from the perspective of having lived experience and deep understanding.

Seems odd to write this off as "transphobic" given that Hayton is a transwoman. I think you just have a differing opinion, that's all.
I'm not really cashing in on it. It has become my sidearm. I think that's the best way to describe it. When I want to solve a problem it's just there, trustworthy, reliable and efficient.

What it does is allow me to circumvent demotivating and productivity draining pain which is seen elsewhere which is pretty much summed up as: shitty build tools, runtime environments, libraries, containerisation, IDEs, concurrency approaches, test frameworks.

Really it's a tool that allows me to actually get stuff done.

It's pretty much what I've wanted for years: a memory safe, GC'ed C with a stdlib that wasn't conceived in the 70s.
An example: artificial lighting. Despite most lighting transitioning to fluorescent then LED, total electric demand used for lighting hasn't really gone down as the cost has gone down; people just floodlight everything now. Some napkin math indicates Canadians use about ~10x as much artificial light per capita compared to 50 years ago.

It's not a law, of course, or at least not a simple one. E.g., the cost to refrigerate has come down similarly, but while air conditioning continues to increase in use, average freezer/fridge space plateaued in the 1980s. Everyone seems to now have as much freezer space as they want. Some demands are fully satisfiable and people don't necessarily consume more, even as the cost comes down.
I agree with this.

I think another problem with the playgrounds is that they were paid. I didn't want to explore too much because I felt like I was constantly losing money just to mess around. I feel that because ChatGPT is free that's really opened the floodgates to allow everyone to mess around with it.

That and I suppose it wasn't too obvious on the playgrounds that GPT-3 had a huge amount of knowledge about really specific things. Like, I asked ChatGPT about Vite, and it knew a whole bunch. I woudn't have thought to ask GPT-3 about Vite because it seemed like it was more intended to continue text I had already written - it didn't really seem like it had extensive external knowledge.

It is a game of whack'a'mole. But a business that gets you sued is radioactive for investors. SO while the technology exists, and means will be found by well funded agencies to exploit it, it will become less and less accessible to private corporations as a business model.

That is a good thing. That results from suing them.

I'd be curious as to what your views are, since you so eloquently wrote your previous lines, but then basically refused to share your own views.

I wouldn't necessary recomment ContraPoints as a "calm, nuanced discussion" when it comes to these issues when Natalie Wynn (who portrays various characters as Contrapoints) takes issue with gender-neutral language (invalidating non-binary people), entertains and employs transphobic views, and fails to even understand gender properly[1].

The nuance involved takes a lot more than a ContraPoints video to go through, and would be better served with both a different source and topic than the video you linked.
I'm confused. The post mentioned that this was fixed in Swift 5.7, but I have Swift 5.7.1 on my macOS Monterey and the bug is still present if I modify my AoC solution to exhibit the problem. Is Swift 5.7.1 on Monterey different from the 5.7.1 on Ventura?

I love Swift as a language, but the lack of release notes for 5.7.1 (aside from a blog post for 5.7 as a whole), OS-specific releases (especially for SwiftUI), Xcode removing old toolchains when it upgrades (making me re-download tvOS 15.4 runtime for no reason), and all these other little things are starting to weigh on me.
