NixOS people will prefer NixOS, but Silverblue seems like a nice complement to Nix if you need an FHS base system and want to retain some Nix-ish features like rollbacks and atomic upgrades.
The plugins are, but not the host. You can create pools of plugin instances if you need concurrency. Threading inside a Wasm program is still a new concept but I think it will become more common.

Hi, I'm Thomas, a Masters Electronic Engineer, graduating June 2023. I have experience in electronics test (including IC design validation) and a little in Electrical control systems. I aspire to work on embedded control systems, but would also be keen to explore RF and DSP work.

More bleakly, if TSMC is destroyed as a result of invasion, the rest of the world is denied access. This might be to their liking. With some of the capability in the US, they can no longer deny the rest of the world.
That's roughly how my previous company did things. A layoff in June, followed by an announcement in early August that a much larger layoff would happen in late September that would hit Engineering particularly hard (something like 40% as it turned out). It wasn't a very productive 12 weeks for anyone, despite senior leadership attempting to go on as normal.

If true, that would decrease China's incentive to invade. That would seem to be the reason for TSMC to set that up.
I'm not measuring the value of BTC in USD, I clearly stated 1 bitcoin for 1 bitcoin worth of stuff. That stuff will invariably also have a USD value, and similarly a EUR value, and a Yen value, because that's how currencies work. And just as you can say a EUR is worth 1.05 USD, you can say a BTC is worth 15k USD.

Yes, I stated bitcoin's purpose, but I said nothing about avoiding financial regulations. What I was referring to was ledger keeping.

Sequin | Platform Engineer, Fullstack Engineer | Remote (US & Canada only) | https://sequin.io
Sequin is the fastest way to build applications on top of APIs. At our core is a bidirectional sync between APIs (Salesforce, Stripe, etc) and databases. This makes it easy for developers to work with their third-party data. We eliminate HTTP requests, caching, polling, webhooks, etc.

We're early-stage but backed by amazing investors, like Kleiner Perkins. We're already working with some great customers, many of whom you'd recognize (see some on our landing page.)

We're building our founding team, growing to 8. This is a special time: you’ll play an instrumental role in shaping everything from our culture, to our engineering workflow, to our product's design and architecture.

Our platform engineers earn their stripes in distributed systems – we're solving some very hard and classic problems here. We primarily build in Elixir/Phoenix, but no prior experience with Elixir is required.

For our Fullstack position, you'll learn some Elixir but also work a lot on our React/Tailwind front-end.

Find out more about us on our jobs page: https://sequin.io/careers

If you have any questions or are curious to learn more, feel free to reach out to me directly. Email in bio.

Decline in Android memory safety vulnerabilities as Rust usage grows
No, this thread is talking about whether or not violating asimov's supposed laws are a Bad Idea.

Naturally, the current implementation is a long, long way from complying with those concepts.

The real question, for today and now, should be: Should we be focusing on implementing more safety measures (getting us closer to the principles behind the laws) or should we deploy what we have in a situation where they can be used for violence?

Are the video feeds from the robots recorded? Are those recordings accessible to the person manipulating the robot, or their direct superiors? Are there backups in case those "get lost"? Are there on-board backups in case of network loss? Some sort of black-box maybe? Can the robot's weapons be deployed if the recording is not in progress?

Even if the robot itself doesn't have an independent will, it can still be equipped with safeguards. Hell, automatic doors almost always have sensors that prevent the door from crushing something if it is in the way of the door closing. Surely we should be more stringent with weaponized robots than we are with garage doors.
Any move the human chess engine makes would be losing by definition if it is also used as the bench mark.

Therefor, such an engine can only hang in computation - being unable to produce a top move because if it were to make a suggestion then the actual best move changes to avoid it. Since the engine is unable to produce a move - there is no top engine move which makes every move legal.

A normal game of chess is played while the engine locks up on the sideline

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act ban such stickers as the manufacture has to prove a modification directly led to the failure before denying a warrany claim. the FTC sent out in 2018[1][2] a letter to several manufacturers, including Apple I believe, that deployed such stickers on their products

The common example I give is that if you replace the radio in your car, and then the water pump fails the manufacturer of the car can not refuse the warranty because you change the radio

Similarly, if in this instance you remove the sticker to turn on Dev Mode and then the Screen fails it would be incumbent on Apple to prove some software or something you did directly cause the screen failure before voiding the warranty claim, they can not simply relay on a sticker

You do not seem to have much knowledge of his publication record.

Here is a list of 272 journal articles by Einstein and coauthors, the majority of which would certainly be considered peer reviewed by modern standards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_publication...

From just these papers, among the things you put into the bucket of "not huge breakthroughs" were (in small length scales) Bose-Einstein statistics and Bose-Einstein condensates (notably his 1924 and 1925 papers), his atomic emission and absorption theory (the "stimulated emission" in laSEr), and his paper with Podolsky & Rosen and (in large length scales) General Relativity, Einstein gravitational lensing, the Friedmann-Einstein and Einstein-de Sitter expanding universe cosmological models.
Thanks for the comment!

In Machine Learning literature, the variance of accuracy measurements originates from different network parameters initialization.
Since the deep learning ensembles already use aggregate computation in the hundreds of days, computing the variance would elevate the computational time into thousands of days.

In contrast, statistical methods that we report optimize convex objectives; their optimal parameters are deterministic.

That being said, we like the idea of including cross-validation with different splits for future experiments.
And in a similar vein:

We've come up with a new pedagogical method to teach 4 year olds arithmetic. With two months of study they can easily multiply two 15 digit numbers in their heads.

If the major source of latency is key travel distance, does this really impact the user experience? My feeling is that a keyboard with longer travel distance feels more "solid" than one where the key hardly goes down at all, even if this adds some extra latency. Otherwise we could just type on virtual keyboards with zero travel distance, but then there is no tactile feedback when the key is pressed.
I've never seen Solidity before, but it sure looks like `onlyOwner` is an arbitrary modifier name, and you could use _any_ modifier that contains a require(msg.sender == owner) assertion to restrict the caller. So shouldn't the answer be "...you can add a modifier to the function.." rather than "...you can add the onlyOwner modifier to the function...".
As an Arizona native, occasionally my paranoia about living in a desert and simultaneously living through world wide climate change begins to really worry me.

Ask HN: Best practices for switching phone numbers with 2FA?
I’ve moved and am hoping to switch to a local number (thanks to the prevalence of spam calls from other jurisdictions, people don’t answer real calls from a non-local number!). I’ve got 2FA set up with a variety of websites that I never thought twice about and sometimes only use sporadically. I don’t have any real record of what services are connected with my number.

Anyone whose been through this, do you have any tips for how to manage this efficiently so that I don’t suddenly lose access to critical services because of a phone number change?
Even if you make egg freezing cheap, it will still have an abysmal success rate (particularly if a woman waits until her 30s to have the eggs freezed), and should rationally be viewed as a hail Mary of last resort. This should not be viewed as the default rational path towards pregnancy, even if it were free. A society which is structured to encourage this path is setting people up for serious disappointment.
> DNSSEC is a PKI that follows DNS delegation, and no CA can issue certificates out of scope by definition.

Sure, and with that you are forced to trust your name servers (and/or the registry's) and your TLD's and the roots'.

All that with little choice in the matter, and little to no transparency into the process.

Just one example - if your TLD leaks their keys, that's sufficient to forge all the replies a middleman would need and nobody would really notice.

With WebPKI you can use CAA records and Certificate Transparency logs, plus you can get some extra assurance from the fact that they have to comply with the policies set by independent trust stores.

> That alone should be enough to consider it a strictly better subset of the browser CA PKI model.

It's a subset that leaves out the parts that would make it better than WebPKI. Right now it just complements WebPKI, at best.

Is this really such a bad thing? Following technical walk throughs are the sort of thing that get people interested in the kind of education that is more likely to protect them and even make them someone who “knows what they’re doing.” Most of the people I know who got interested in tech didn’t do so from some Apple approved stem app, it was from this sort of independent exploration to get something they want. These arguments start to feel like prohibition over education, and in a lot of ways just plain technocratic.

Show HN: API Runner – A tool for testing APIs written in Go
Because the variance can be uniformly high, making it difficult to properly judge the improvement of one method vs the baseline method: did you actually improve, or did you just get a few lucky seeds? It's much harder to get a paper debunking new "SotA" methods so I default to showing a clear improvement over a good baseline. Simply looking at the performance is also not enough because a task can look impressive, but be actually quite simple (and vice versa), so using these statistical measures makes it easy to distinguish good models on hard tasks from bad models on easy tasks.

I should also note 1) this is about testing whether the performance of a model is meaningfully different from another, not the coefficient of the models 2) I don't reject papers just because they lack this, or if they fail to achieve a statistical significance, I just want it in the paper so the reader can use that to judge (and it also helps suss out cherry picked results)

Glad to hear you like our approach! We haven't fully solved indexing/complex querying yet. We have two modes we can operate in - directly encrypting in the database, or doing just-in-time encryption as the query results come back. When encrypting directly in the database most queries other than direct comparison won't work. We have some early work started on using both homomorphic encryption [1] and format-preserving masking which opens up the ability to use other query operations.

With JIT response encryption none of that is an issue, the database still has the raw data but applications are protected. The downside is it can be slow for large amounts of data.
