> There's really only one thing I'd like to note here: man pages. Man pages. Man pages. Okay, three things. But this one thing seemed so important, I had to mention it multiple times. If you're not doing it already, you should get into the habit of consulting man pages before searching anywhere else. Unix-style man pages are an excellent source of documentation. There's even a man page for the man command itself:

YES YES YES. It's how I learned my way around Unix back in SunOS days. I literally started with "man intro" and worked my way out from there. Sun's documentation was _excellent_.

Sadly, Linux and even BSD man pages are more hit or miss compared to Sun's documentation. But they are still a great place to start.
Well yeah, at the end of the day, it's just another avenue of rent extraction. I do think that it would be a step up from the current system, where I just can't get ebook, end of story.
For me old.reddit.com seems to work just as well with or without Tor (eg via Brave). The website served at the raw domain barely functions IME, so perhaps that's where the issue lie?

It kind of blows my mind that of all time that will ever exist in the universe, our existence has been plonked right at the (almost) very very beginning. It somehow seems significant to me. I’m not sure if I could articulate it properly, but of all time that will ever exist, why/how is it we came to be right at the “start”, instead of any other time.

> In other words, the adversary in your threat model is the service provider - and in this case, Apple. And what good is that encryption, if Apple obviously can do almost anything with your device?

The adversary in this threat model isn't the service provider. The adversary is someone attacking the service provider, like a hacker or a government with a warrant, and getting access to Apple's storage of your data.

Now of course it's not impossible for such an adversary to also defeat other systems at Apple and get your data another way, for example by controlling Apple's ability to send over-the-air updates to Apple devices. But I think that is a sufficiently distinct threat that it's not worth dismissing solutions to the first threat. That would be like dismissing the importance of a web server storing passwords salted and hashed, since attackers could just use a totally different attack to bypass the web server's database access control. Another way to illustrate this might be to point out that attackers can physically coerce you to hand over data regardless of any security measures any service provider could possibly make, but that doesn't mean we should dismiss all such security measures.

Why do you think they were tortured? Maybe they were ejected for heavy drinking while waiting in a queue to a paradise. We do not know what is inside of a black hole, but funny ways of matter around a black hole seems like a result of drunkinness. How one can miss black hole while falling into it? Try to miss Earth while falling on it. No amount of gin seem to be enough. But they somehow managed to miss a black hole which is much heavier than Earth. They used a tremendous amount of gin to get into the right state of a mind. No wonder they were stripped of their right to a paradise and ejected from a queue.
I've always had trouble with this publicity stunt. Like banning people for baseless political or personal reasons is bad, but this is directly insulting Instagram. In effect it's saying "here's the information Instagram has collected on you, now use our platform which doesn't collect this information". Like why would Meta take that reputational hit for a few thousand dollars in the short term. It's a bad deal for them and it makes sense to not do it
This is one of the main reasons why I keep using Tor daily. The more people use Tor for normal browsing, the less interesting it becomes to be a Tor user, the better the anonymity for everyone else.

Lasers are easier to setup (you just need two end stations) and don't need dedicated lines (you don't have to lay any fiber). If you have an existing connection between two points, then fiber might be better / same, but if you had to setup something for cost / speed, then laser would win.

If you have it working in babashka though, it means it can also be used with Clojure and compiled to native using GraalVM. So anything that runs in babashka can be compiled to native as well. At least in theory.

You probably want i=1 since i=0 is an answer you can predict:

i = 0 implies that i = 0 + 0 = 0; so the loop doesn’t evolve, and the whole thing can be optimized to just i = 0.

For i=1, the loop simplifies to 2^count and a count-length type, which is the point I think you wanted.
Right, but it may be unexpected that a single device can prevent using a new feature on your other devices. This is just a heads up. And conceivably Apple could provide updates for older OS versions, as they sometimes do for security fixes.
Unfortunately, that only seems to print those defaults that are set, not all defaults that are possible.

The US uses fines of EU companies as a strategic tool so I think that the EU hitting US companies with GDPR fines is fair.
I predict that content owners will push for legislation that makes using a copyrighted as training data for a neural network explicitly illegal without the owner‘s consent. They might argue that using copyrighted works to train neural networks was illegal even by the standards of today‘s law. But they will try to push to make it explicit, to avoid the obvious debate that copyright has never been designed as a tool to keep ideas hostage. And so I predict that the big winners of tomorrow are being created today, while there is still a certain Wild West and regulation is still foggy. Today, you can still train your models on Reddit, Common Crawl, and, who knows, maybe those Z-Library torrents that are out there? As long as your model will not quote its sources verbatim, it‘s very unlikely you‘ll face any consequences. But once the training data market becomes more regulated, it will become much more difficult to build a huge model without paying millions in license fees. In fact, I wouldn‘t be surprised if it OpenAI itself would not be pushing for more regulation at some point. Just like Google, once their own position seemed secure, began helping webmasters to „protect themselves“ against other people‘s automated crawlers (e.g. ReCaptcha).
You can probably apply Hanlon's Razor to figure out whether conspiracy can be the more true or simpler explanation in Occam's Razor.

> Much "great literature", and wannabe great literature, is full of such introspection. Ayn Rand takes it to an extreme. The other big vice for writers is the info-dump, where there's a long description of the setting. Read anything self-published, and you'll probably find both of these problems. "Show, don't tell".

As usual, the rules can be thrown out if you're good at it. A master writes whole chapters of introspection and makes them sublime and compelling. Woolf filled the entire middle of a book with description of an unoccupied house passing the years, featuring very little that could even generously be called action and hardly even any characters to properly introspect despite the whole affair feeling introspective, and it's excellent. An author even slightly below that level of skill and talent creates only trash of one variety or another, should they attempt anything similar.

But the point definitely holds for most writers, and you're exactly right that you can dig through (especially, but not only) self-published works and easily improve most of them several times per chapter by swapping a tell for a show. I suppose one hallmark of what might be called literature—at least, the kind that truly deserves that label, not just any work that aspires to it—is that if you were to edit it in that fashion, instead of getting better, it would get worse.

> There are major action movies with voice-overs or explicit scene-setting at the very beginning, from Star Wars to Kick-Ass. But if it's in the middle, you're doing it wrong.

Same here. See: Tarantino. He interrupted a thrilling, tense narrative to have a distractingly-famous actor who wasn't otherwise in the movie explain, directly to the audience, a bit about the chemistry of film, and somehow it worked. And that's not the only time he's done something like that. Don't do it... except if you can.
Ya, I'm not going to disagree, it's not the nicest build pipeline.

That said, you can figure it out normally.

Using native dependencies will always be the hardest. I'd recommend first trying to use graalvm friendly libraries, and if not, libraries that are pure Java and don't have native dependencies.

For SQLite for example, you have to include the SQLite C driver, and that's where it gets a bit complicated.

See here for a demo build that includes SQLite: https://github.com/ericdallo/sqlite-graalvm-sample/tree/mast...

The most friendly way is to rely on this: https://github.com/clj-easy

It lists Clojure native image friendly libraries you can use. And it also includes some pre-configured dependencies you can depend on that will bring the correct build config.

Then just pretend like there are no other libraries yet for this "new" language. Or learn about the native image process more deeply and contribute to the effort to add easier support for more libraries.
But, correct me if I'm wrong, IP+ doesn't do anything differently from IPv6, except that it changed the 6to4 prefix?

Host 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8 still can't communicate with a "legacy" host 4.5.6.7 without some kind of bidirectional translation mechanism. Just prepending 0.0.0.0 to an address (or 2002:c000:0204, for that matter) doesn't fix the problem.
I love how it just said "DONT" to a request to do something it shouldn't.
I'm heavily involved in interviewing at my current org and have been pondering same questions.

Some ideas:

1. use ChatGPT (or similar) to test your questions. I read that GPT-like models cannot do abstract manipulation. Perhaps there is a way to phrase follow up questions such that the model cannot relate to the earlier question.

2. in system design session, focus on detail instead of high level. Also, you can draw a diagram of a design and ask the candidate to point out deficiencies.

3. what if we could use GPT-like system to generate new programming questions of equal difficulty for each new interview candidate? this would solve the problem of questions leaking and making it to sites like LeetCode.
That just made me look at Google Cloud again, and it's depressing to see.
At least some types of load balancer do support dual-stack setups, but not if you configure them via GKE with the k8s ingress controller. If you use that one you're out of luck and they maybe now implement it for the new gateway API controller.
So if you use GKE and ingress you can configure two of them. One with a static v4 address and another one with a static v6 address. Of course you pay twice then.
If you didn't found the company - if you weren't there when it was founded - you're not a cofounder. I don't see how that's controversial.

String Theory, "It from (Qu)bit", etc. have been putting out a large amount of B.S. for many years now, and the hype itself became so common that, to compete with other B.S. the hype has now become over-the-top blatant nonsense.

Many fields of science these days suffer from dishonest and attention seeking researchers and professors, overhyping their results on media, fudging experiments etc.

We need to make science actively painful (cut all funding, regularly jail them, condemn them to obscurity, make sure no one wants to date them etc.) so it only attracts people in it for the right reasons :)

Show HN: Let AI to generate beautiful art prints
hi,

I was working last few months on service where you can easily generate beautiful art images using machine learning algorithm called stable diffusion. Additionally, service is offering possibility to print your favourite images on high quality acrylic sheet and deliver it to you so that you can put them on your wall.

What do you think?

There's still too many situations in which I do end up having to enter my passcode.

Mask unlock isn't perfect, wet hands can throw off Touch ID, and once per day I believe they will just reset and as for the passcode anyway. It's also required for software updates and reboots.

I'm not asking for this to become the default, or even an option given in any setup wizard. Just allow me to set up my own end-to-end encryption recovery passphrase and let me remove all of my device passcodes, i.e. allow me to opt out of HSM-mediated key escrow.
Primarily, the time-to-recovery to an arbitrary point in time is much lower than when you use vanilla solutions, because Neon doesn't need to recover from a previous checkpoint (potentially hours of WAL), nor does it need a file system / data directory snapshot from around the recovery point. pg_rewind can only do so much, and snapshots require planning ahead for the need for recovery.
Just the timeline given here is very suspect, my understanding is human brains were roughly the same size they are today 35000 years ago. Did you mean 350k?
Do you honestly believe that a malicious actor who can access data storage can also necessarily access a silent mechanism to affect the security internals of a given iPhone? And also the theoretical hacker wouldn't be able to just push said theoretical silent update to your device to just exfil the data anyway?

Really having a hard time understanding the detailed security implications of your scenario beyond this vague notion you're presenting that a theoretical hacker can use theoretical tools to silently pwn any Apple device collected to the internet at any time.
music is a good analogy. In college, for whatever reason, i hung out with far more architecture students than CS students. Hanging out with architecture students (and their professors i might add) in their studios and listening to them brag about themselves and teardown each other is a lot like hanging out with insufferable music fans in a record store.

on a tangent, i felt really bad for the kids in that school. They all had such grand plans and were taught that if they don't change the world then they're worthless. Then they graduate and are stuck doing construction documents for Taco Bells and things like that. That has to be a bitter pill to swallow.
Well that certainly worked for WhatsApp, when they delayed the new privacy policy, and then just rolled out when the media coverage died down.

8.5 billion light years away, vs. ~100,000 light years across. To cover the whole galaxy, from a point source it would need to spread out just 1 part in 100,000. So, probably.

Yes, technically our galaxy is a lot bigger than 100,000 ly, but the part somebody looking out from Andromeda could see isn't.
It needs to be supported in the clients, both browsers and libraries. I'm actually mad that scope restrictions are not more commonly used, and that tooling is absurdly complicated.

It would be useful for internal CAs too, because they could be trusted for only a specific subdomain, eg *.intranet.acme.com.

There's already the option to use delivery lockers if it's that inconvenient for you. In my area they just drop the package on my porch for 99.9% of deliveries so there's not even really a concern of missing or being interrupted by a delivery.

Also I'm still working from home over 75% of the time during the work week (1 week per month requested time in office) so I'm not actually driving by all these possible pickups constantly and it would be a net additional trip, and a short one at that which is the worst case for emissions and additional engine wear because it will barely get warmed up on the 1 mi drive to my nearest locker location, to use them.
> If you are adding 0(Int18)+1(Int18), you don't need 1(Int36)

No, you’d need an Int19. We were talking about statically typed languages, so you need to decide the type at compile-time. If you add two UInt16’s they could both contain up to 0xFFFF, you need 17 bits to store that answer. Basically, with every addition you need 1 more bit than the largest of the two (types, not values) you are adding together to prevent a potential overflow. It’s even worse for multiplication.
