> It's accurate, right?

No, because it carries a false implication. I'm failing to see that here for anyone who hasn't come to their conclusion ex ante. There seems to be a generalized dislike for anyone covering anything related to FTX without screaming that it was a fraud. We know it was a fraud. The people who don't think it's a fraud will never be convinced otherwise.
Interesting article. Fundamental to all NHTSA covered products is the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations), It is the law. It is best to understand not only the binary requirements of said code but also the intention. Generally the codes have logical origins in the development. As well, it is generally a best practice to not just barely meet the law/code but exceed it to some degree. Test to test there will be variability and one may avoid hassles recall/lawsuit by exceeding the code. Today's fuel tank test involves a test collision and then the tested vehicle is placed on a large rotisserie and only a limited amount of fluid is allowed to leak as the crashed vehicle is rotated in space.
There's a fun game I like to play with people who talk about Language Rules: they tell me the construction they think is "ungrammatical", and I show them a well-respected author who uses that construction.

Starting sentences with conjunctions, splitting infinitives, and the Oxford Comma Debate are easy mode; I can normally find an example in any given book. It's a bit harder with pronoun use – that's a per-work thing, not a per-paragraph one; and it's single words, so I can't cheat with a search engine – but I haven't lost yet. Want to play?
> The former are much smaller, cooler, and slower burns

Again this has no basis.

The prescribed fire that caused this 300k+ acre fire was supposed to be 1204 acres. That 1204 is the boundary of the possible burn area and the actual area burnt with even moderate intensity was probably planned to be much smaller.
I suppose some people might just want to destroy infrastructure and not kill people directly (give people an opportunity to evacuate).
So nice to hear from you, thank you and your teammates for advancing the state of science and space exploration.
> If you stand in San Antonio, Texas, surrounded by shuttered shopping malls and half-built-and-now-abandoned projects

The specifics of this claim are peculiar. San Antonio has one of the hottest (read: high-priced) housing markets on Earth, due to chronic underbuilding. If there are unfinished housing construction projects in that city, it's likely they are waiting for supplies, not abandoned due to economics.
I guess it depends on what the punishment is. If it's only a fine, Apple might happily pay it to retain full control of the app repository.
CPUs are the "chips" the average person is aware of, so it makes sense as a headline for a mainstream article

I daily drive /e/ OS, I'm happy about it.
I've seen two things here: People getting too optimistic about the quality of candidates, as you say, but also people in entry level positions with entry level knowledge dismissing basic interview questions outside of their aptitude as "useless leetcode/whiteboard coding".

I've seen someone say they have never used a linked list, not even implemented themselves but used, and, on top of that, that they likely never will. I've also seen someone putting down the most basic knowledge about the most simple data structures (i.e. simple questions about what you can and cannot do efficiently with an array) as "premature optimization".

That thinking worked for their job, so they thought that's universal.
I appreciate that you feel that way. I think most users don't care about the details of rendering engines and think user chrome choice (not Google's Chrome specifically; it's stupid Chrome confused pre-existing browser language) is enough. I mostly agree, as I already stated, and I'm okay with the compromise on rendering engine for security and I'm okay with the compromise on rendering engine to keep at least one non-Blink renderer high enough on caniuse usage statistics that I can fight back some in corporate projects that "Chrome is the only browser we need to support" because we have enough iOS using users and many of them are executives. That's a more important fight to me than "user rendering engine freedom". I don't personally need IE6 2.0 "Chrome is the only supported browser for the next few decades" (whether or not you think Google would declare victory in the same way that Microsoft did and stop innovating on Chrome entirely that very minute that happens), and I don't think the web as a whole needs that either. So I'm with Apple right now on their compromise choices.

I don't expect you to agree with me. I just want you to know it is a perspective of its own merits. The web has seen what happens when one rendering engine gets enough market share to dominate and that had a decade or more of repercussions, especially in enterprise application development. We're so dangerously close to that happening again. You may think you are fighting the most for freedom of the two of us, but from my perspective you are fighting a proxy battle in the Cold War and I'm much more worried about the Cold War and the freedoms it may lose us in the long run.
I'm happy he got even more than Holmes (11 vs 13). The book made him sound worse than she was and he was the mastermind internally at keeping the staff working and building a culture of misdirection and obedience. He was firing people on an almost daily basis for a while whenever someone questioned their bullshit.

Holmes was the showpiece, who got to play the pretend female Steve Jobs visionary role to the press and investors. And naturally took most of the heat. But the house of cards would probably have fallen apart way sooner if he didn't run the show in the background.
To this date I cannot build the hypothetical result of a PR with CircleCI. Number 1 reason not to use it.
I once tweeted something like:

> "For those of you interested in running an exit node, just be safe. Always remember to run it via your company's VPN to ensure the safety of those making passage through."

The engagement was nuts and the sheer amount of people who use ToR but were unfamiliar with what a statement actually says was frightening.
It's a much better estimate than hand waving about memory isolation.

If we want to talk about how things work directly, my program can get things to the GPU in far less than a millisecond. The safety layers are not the problem.
I don't disagree your first point.

The problem is that asking questions like FizzBuzz is also a filter in the other way. Higher quality candidates aren't going to bother answering your filter question and bail out of the process.

I spent several years working on a large tech hiring platform and a thing we noticed again and again is that putting up any filters immediately drove away top tier candidates. They're just not going to jump through hoops when they have so many other options available to them.

Now if you goal is to hire a more average quality candidate, then you can get away with filter questions, coding tests, etc.
I think you may have missed the point. Aaronson is being ironic here. Uploading your brain into a quantum simulation is ridiculously far beyond the realm of plausibility. He's not suggesting this as an actual scenario, he's saying "This wormhole claim requires so much suspension of disbelief that you have to be profoundly ignorant of how quantum computers actually work in order to lend it any credence at all."
I owned a 1984 Corolla in the early 2000's. Under the hood was a mass of vacuum lines, solenoids, pneumatic actuators. Ran perfectly well.

I have this belief that US auto company management thought they could use their political clout to get rid of the new emissions and safety rules and go back to the old cheap way of doing things. So some of the malaise era crap was a feature not a bug. The Japanese managers though had no such illusions and they were also engineers at heart. Vs US managers who were all MBA's and finance guys.

I've been a diehard Thinkpad user for over a decade now (X201 my first back in 2010). Apple M2 Air is on another level despite not having a trackpoint. Just to add to your list: the aluminum shell feels nice too. Paired with the cpu it just never heats up, which used to be a drawback by acting as a big heat sink.
The operator prompts becomes part of the input vector (it has a certain context depth it can accommodate), whereas the data it was trained on actually affects the models weights and biases. You can think of it like “evaluating this statement in light of the prior context against the training set”.
The main character in this is a prolific antisemite and has Nazi leanings. That’s a horror show.
Using lossless audio with AirPods is still preferable. Rather than re-encoding a lossy stream with another lossy codec, you only encode it once. Is it minor? Yeah. Can I actually hear it on AirPods? No. But it's not entirely moot.
It’s not about brainwashing.

There is a difference between trying to convince someone to spend money on your product vs trying to convince someone that your worldview and ideology is the right one (Trumpism) by using language that resonates with your values.

You wouldn’t be able to convert a progressive to become a Trumpist, but try it on folks on the fence and the probability is higher.

Same happened in the UK with Brexit. A weak West benefits Putin. The Russians have a lot of experience with disinformation campaigns. Look up Operation Infektion. Luckily it failed. The West is now more united, due to Putin’s miscalculation with the Ukraine war.

"all designed to improve the public image of the CIA and the MI5/6 (both of whom were very upset about Le Carre's take on the Cold War, and basically seem to have promoted Fleming as an antidote)."

Can you substantiate this claim? Are there actual sources that you can quote that the CIA/MI-5/6 did this?
The majority of the problems seem to come from the fact that v6 addresses are longer than v4 ones. That's why we need socket(AF_INET6)s and AAAA records and a DNS API that supports multiple address families and dual stack and new firewalling and updates to all protocols that embed v4 addresses.

You're going to have the exact same problems with any protocol that has addresses longer than v4's.

The main paper seems to be behind a paywall (rolleyes), but I did find this synopsis that covers the basic approach and hardware: https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4...

It sounds like this test payload was part of a larger CubeSet built by NASA, but the actual datacom components seem pretty much off the shelf (besides the optics). 100Gbps transceivers, an optical mux, and an EDFA - all common in terrestrial telecom - and some IR optics to collimate the beam.
That's why you keep a copy of the key somewhere else.

I have briefly played with chatGPT. I don’t understand how you refine a program specification. I tell chatGPT what I want in a few words. It prints out a couple hundred lines of code that kind of work but not quite how I want it. So I delete the code and then rephrase with more detail. This time I exceed the 4k character input limit. Repeat above trying to cram more detail into 4k characters. I often have better luck being more general and hoping for the best.

This same 'fraud' exists in lots of social situations where someone offers to 'pay the remainder of a bill' or 'I'll top up your sponsorship to $1000'.

Classic restaurant example:. "I saw that table gave you a 1 cent tip, so I'm going to tip you double".

It's more of a social problem than a mathematical one. Either it's okay to reward someone inversely based on their past successes, or it isn't. "Do the best you can, and I'll pay the rest" is exactly that.
> Correct behavior is that a demonized process doesn't ever get killed just because another process in its original family tree dies

Who decides what is a demonized process, vs one that just froze and won’t respond to some random UNIX convention, that can’t even reliably signal its state (what is tmux when it is frozen?)

So the solution is to explicitly specify that a given process wishes to live outside of the seat’s lifetime (either by specifying it as a service, which your earlier example ssh is on basically any distro, or by executing it as with systemd-run)

Kind of ironic the author is doing the pretty much the same thing as the main character of her article.
David Foster Wallace, whom some might sneer at, had a number of observations on the phenomenon you've described. For example, from the book "Conversations with David Foster Wallace":

'Irony and cynicism were just what the U.S. hypocrisy of the fifties and sixties called for. That's what made the early postmodernists great artists. The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates. The virtuous always triumph? Ward Cleaver is the prototypical fifties father? "Sure." Sarcasm, parody, absurdism and irony are great ways to strip off stuff’s mask and show the unpleasant reality behind it. The problem is that once the rules of art are debunked, and once the unpleasant realities the irony diagnoses are revealed and diagnosed, "then" what do we do? Irony’s useful for debunking illusions, but most of the illusion-debunking in the U.S. has now been done and redone. Once everybody knows that equality of opportunity is bunk and Mike Brady’s bunk and Just Say No is bunk, now what do we do? All we seem to want to do is keep ridiculing the stuff. Postmodern irony and cynicism’s become an end in itself, a measure of hip sophistication and literary savvy. Few artists dare to try to talk about ways of working toward redeeming what’s wrong, because they’ll look sentimental and naive to all the weary ironists. Irony’s gone from liberating to enslaving. There’s some great essay somewhere that has a line about irony being the song of the prisoner who’s come to love his cage.'

Similar observations can be found in the following essay https://jsomers.net/DFW_TV.pdf.

Literary types occasionally called this New Sincerity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Sincerity).
Thank you for your feedback! I'll definitely check these out. The whole "simulation theory" thing seems to be a fun idea. Are we living in a petri dish experiment aimed at finding an optimal outcome? An experiment where life situations are generated many times with slight variants to examine all possible outcomes in "universe" life simulations?

The jump from matter / elements to RNA also doesn't make sense to me - so maybe there's a drop in the petri dish to explain life arising from nothing.

It's overwhelmingly mysterious & confusing :(

In comparison, Holmes was convicted of four wire-fraud related counts and sentenced to a little over 11 years in prison last month.

I have in my head, but have not written down, a sci fi story similar to that- "diybio" where some smart grad students clone cephalopod camoflague genes and make a crispr delivery system to give people the ability to grow moving tattoos that glow (go look at a cuttlefish). They go to burning man and give it away- massive night raves with people dancing around, etc.

based on those good results, they go back to the lab and cook up a general purpose "edit your own genome for free!" project and put all the steps to reproduce it in a github repo. But... after half the world has downloaded and started playing, those burning man people start dying of cancer.

What is the chance that there is a law-enforcement backdoor? Honest question! Could be anything from "no chance" to "pretty likely" and I don't know enough to hazard a guess. But I believe the answer is important and I'd love to hear what the HN crew has to say about it.
Awesome, what are you up to nowadays? Anything interesting brewing you can share?
All member of nobility lost their privileges early in the Weimarer Republic (1919), but they were allowed to keep their titles. Many chose to drop those as well, but some keep them to this day.

My (one guy on the Internet) impression is that the majority of British still support their nobility (as demonstrated just recently when Queen Elizabeth II died), while in Germany only a minority does. I can't help feeling a bit pity for those clinging to their titles, particularly if they make publicly a fool of themselves like Karl-Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Buhl-Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg (!) [1] or this "prince".

I don't want to be rude, and I'll assume good faith. But it seems naive to think the syntax of an address would be the sticking point.

128 bit addresses, NDP, SLAAC, etc., there are many huge changes that I don't think syntactic sugar would have saved.

Maybe though? Perhaps it would have been doable but I simply don't know.

We, the world, should ha e legislated some of these standards. The fact that in 2022 I have to worry about if I will get a /60, /64 or /128 from an ISP is criminal. That I can't get a consumer router with prefix delegation available.
Ask HN: Is it unethical to write code for a framework with security risks?
Let’s say I know that .NET 5 has security flaws, and the right thing to do is upgrade to .NET 6. If I am asked to just write the feature for .NET 5 because “we aren’t targeting .NET 6 yet”, knowing I’ll have to change it later, and that .NET 5 is insecure, is it unethical for me to follow this order and do the work?

What if the boss says “it’s OK don’t worry”? Does the boss knowing or not knowing the full scope of the security implications change whether or not it’s ethical for me to actually write such software?

Is it really correct if I just say “ok well I warned you” but then do it anyways?
