Good time to plug the incredible Honeyland documentary.[0] It's rather short and doesn't have any explicit lesson in mind but somehow it was one of the few documentaries I find myself regularly thinking about over and over and learning new lessons from.

CBDC: Are We on the Brink of Financial Lockdown?
I am sorry, I didn't realize you are the OP.
I love my framework, and would buy it again. But man, I'm not sold the 12th gen intel chip is ideal. My battery life is pretty awful, and it doesn't take much to start the fan / generate heat. Even doing something simple like watching youtube :/
The German nutters had people from the Kommando Spezialkräfte, and they were arming themselves with military weapons to be used in the attack.

The US nutters had paramilitary equipment during the riots like Walkie talkies and walked in formation. They were also equipped with bear spray, classified by the prosecutor as a "Deadly or Dangerous Weapon".

I would say there is some qualitative differences between the two, although both were obvious nutters with no connection with reality.
If Facebook was lying here, you'd think Signal would speak up about it. It would be a HUGE PR win for them, I can already imagine the headlines ("Facebook denied their ads, banned their account, and then lied to cover it up"). It would be extremely easy for them to provide a screenshot of an email from Facebook or similar saying the ad was declined, so why don't they?

Secondly, while I'm no fan of Meta/Facebook (and think they're a net negative for the world), I trust them way more than Signal to get basic facts right in their statement. Facebook is a massive corporation with lawyers and PR people who know that outright lying about something like this is a horrible and possibly illegal idea.

It seems pretty obvious to me here that Signal expected Facebook not to comment on this and for them to net a juicy PR win. On the other hand, Facebook has no reason to believe Signal would stay quiet after being accused of lying if they had a shred of evidence to the contrary. Unfortunately Signal achieved their goal anyways, because we still have people like choppaface coming out of the woodwork to defend them because "Facebook would have done it anyways".
Maybe it is about the cost of tickets and availability of streaming services
This is confusingly worded but for onlookers: sqlite as you think of it isn't an application at all, it's a C library. There does exist a binary called sqlite3 which is an interface to that library, and that binary is (mostly, though not exclusively) single-threaded.

But unless you're using that specific tool, and you're probably not unless you yourself are typing "sqlite3" into a bash shell, you're using the library rather than this query tool. And that library interacts in a similar way to a socket connect or a fopen call. You can have multiple connections open to the same sqlite database, and those connections can operate concurrently (subject to various limitations, but "you need better single core box" is not the summary)
Thangs: Community for 3D Models
I've been running Linux Mint on my MacBook Pro (2011 model) for the last year relatively issue-free.

For a couple weeks, I had DNS issues with the /etc/resolv.conf file, but I added a rule to the Network Manager to not touch that file upon reboot so everything works correctly now (except pinch to zoom on the touchpad).
It would be great to have a better dnsmasq with sane config file, better logging, a simple statistics page and some more.
Confession: I still don't get it.

Manufacturers (and governments, for infrastructure) make a tradeoff between safety and cost all the time. You cannot make a car perfectly safe. Eventually you hit diminishing returns. This is an unavoidable fact of life.

What makes this case worse than the hundred other ones about e.g. making this structural column slightly stronger or the crumple zone this much longer, or the highway this much wider, and so on?
The skew for pay in the dev industry is weird. When I graduated with my BS (2008) I was happy enough to find a junior position in game dev on the west coast at 40k. Mind you that was during a lovely market crash, but after 4 years in game dev my pay didn't increase very much (but my profit sharing did /eyeroll). Fast forward to the present, I work non-FAANG at a 210k salary and am only required to do dev work with no management silliness and no required overtime. My company hires juniors straight out of college at around 100k... this blows my mind.
I don't think Le Carré was trying to write high art either, but I think they were interested in different things. Fleming wanted a fast-paced popular thriller, while Le Carré wanted a realistic depiction of spycraft.

Not clear. How do i reach a device in my local network? Via the optional internal address if my uplink is down and via my link-local address if my uplink is up?

Is the link-local address any good if i'm on wifi but want to ssh into a wired host in my home?

Are you getting my point yet?

Edit: actually I won't wait. The point is it's needlessly overcomplicated. It was done by a commitee that didn't even consider people could try to set up their home network. It's good enough for the enterprise (except cloud sellers it seems) and the plebs should just buy a router.

They also didn't consider someone would try to use the command line, since those addresses are not typable.
Yeah totally, anyone that disagrees with you on obviously objective things such as "does this building look good" is a vapid idiot!
Fantastic tool. One improvement I'd like to see is support for .Trash instead of straight out deletion.

I had to delete a lot of stuff so I turned off the 'Are you sure?' prompt.

Did you try Kea[0]? There are a variety of ways to ensure the same MAC addresses get the same IPs even after the initial lease expires.

I'm not surprised you had issues with dnsmasq - I wouldn't use it for anything other than a run of the mill /24 (or maybe a few of them on VLANs). Don't get me wrong - it's perfect for what it was originally intended for and I use it in at least half a dozen places. Just not for an application and network like yours.

Abstractions are at their worst when they cross bound contexts. A customer in a billing system is not the same as a customer in a sales pipeline system. By merging disparate purposes for seemingly technical benefit, we often create complexity where none need exist.

Domain Driven Design helps wall off inappropriate and costly abstractions.
>Contradicting prevailing scientific views, his findings demonstrated that honeybees possessed learning, memory and the ability to share information through symbolic communication, a form of abstract language. As he wrote to a confidante in 1946: “If you now think I’m crazy, you’d be wrong. But I could certainly understand it.”

>Frisch was right to worry. When he finally went public, many scientists dismissed his research and argued that insects with such tiny brains were incapable of complex communication. The American biologist Adrian Wenner launched a challenge to Frisch’s theory, arguing that bees locate foods solely by odors, a theory that was subsequently proved wrong, although odors are important signals for bees. Eventually, Frisch’s results were definitively and independently validated, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1973.

The Nobel committee called the dismissal of Frisch’s novel ideas “shameless vanity”
Because, often (though not always) you have to write in a different way to get them. It is hard to write well enough to make money purely for pleasure, as the editing/etc process can be a grind trying to make everything smooth and pleasant to read. And with caveats the writers that are most famous tend to be ones who write big L Literature, which rarely makes significant money but is the stuff you hear about on TV in the news etc.

There are exceptions but it tends to require more than a little bit of luck to hit the zeitgeist in a way to work out. Take for example Brandon Sanderson. Outside SFF I doubt almost anyone has heard of him but dude makes millions.
If they're still hashing files, its not end to end.

An anecdote, an activist had a document in their Google Drive. It was not something people high up wanted being distributed. It was deleted not just from their account, but platform wide. Guess how they did that? Its hash.
How is it a privilege when something like 10% or more of all people to have ever been born never reproduced? Not everyone who doesn’t have kids chose that. Some die before they can. Some are sterile. And some simply never get the chance for one reason or another.

I agree that we all have a duty to society but I disagree that I should have to pay absurd sums of money simply because you say so. I meet my duty how I choose and I already pay for your kids education through my taxes. Comments like that come across as envy that people without kids frequently have more disposable income than those with kids.
It's likely that downloading music and movies is actually helpful for those using TOR to "avoid death" - because it provides more cover and traffic.

This article seems to be joke. Thery don't even link the "research" and the research itself is extremely dubious. It says that men are dropping out of workshop because their peers are getting paid more. huh??

I agree. It's a "live and let live" movement. Not some form of austere modernism.

Beauty of people is indeed subjective. Different ethnicities have different innate preferences.
I wrote entire systems with Turbo Pascal, and then Delphi out of the box. Many others did the same with Visual Basic 6, or the Microsoft Office 2000 suite with VBA, before the .NET infection took hold and Microsoft lost it's mind.

I would find this a lot more convincing if they had put a customer with an underspecified problem in front of ChatGPT and seen how well or poorly it could nail down the true requirements. I would not be shocked at all to learn that ChatGPT is not good at that task, but I have been surprised by its other capabilities, so I'm not willing to write it off without giving it a shot.

For my curiosity, does Meson emit "native" build files, such as Visual Studio, Makefiles, Ninja, or the like?

That's been my favorite part of CMake (even before CLion used it as their defacto project format): if you can get a run of cmake to complete (which, granted ...), then you can open the project in a sane IDE and have library and build targets available

I wrote a userscript (with help from ChatGPT) that identifies if comments on HN are written by AI or a human. I based it on https://huggingface.co/openai-detector. Its still a little shabby and only works on HN, but I imagine this is going to be required for general non-specific Internet browsing going forward. It could even be expanded to hide AI generated comments.

They DO want people's data, and they DO hoard it. If they didn't, they would share the source code with the community.

It was a rhetorical question :P

The section of the announcement is emphatically about 3rd party security keys support, so the worry about lack of support of YubiKey over some push for some imaginary Apple Dedicated Key didn't make much sense to me.

Also, security key (at least to me) implies a small, keychain sized device. I wouldn't think of calling my Mac Studio a security key. There is no device marketed as such, even though yes, the SEP can and has fulfilled these purposes.

I'd like to get reporting on that subject from a reliable source not linked to cr&pto. Otherwise it sounds like pro-cr&pto FUD.
At its start, the quanta magazine was a good read. But, it degraded very quickly after they started to use it mainly to put scientists from under-represented groups into the spot light. Nowadays not worth any attention.
"abstraction in expensive" makes people think you are implying one shouldn't use abstraction. It's all well and good that the content doesn't say that, but as journalists say: "don't bury the lede".
I believe that there are some assemblers that will swap "mov rax, 0" for "xor eax, eax" (which is smaller and faster), if you let them, but not all of them. Some instructions like "jmp LABEL" correspond to many different options (short relative jumps, long relative jumps, absolute jumps, etc.) and the assembler picks the best one.

As another example, almost all of the vector instructions have an encoding with a VEX prefix (an AVX encoding) as well as the older SSE encoding. If you mix the VEX and SSE encoded instructions, there can be a big slowdown, so an assembler will give you VEX encodings if you have AVX-only instructions in the stream, and default to SSE encodings if you don't (they are often smaller).

Some instructions, like LEAs and ADDs, have several different encoding options corresponding to different operand orderings, and an assembler will pick the best one - some of these encodings will force an extra SIB byte when you use R12 as an operand, for example.

This is kind of assembler-specific in terms of how smart it is. I'm not sure that the dumber assemblers do this for you.
* Is the monitor running in RGB or YPbPr? With M1 Macs some monitors are getting forced into YPbPr mode and fonts look worse because of it. (https://gist.github.com/GetVladimir/c89a26df1806001543bef4c8...)

* Remember to log out and log back in after you set font smoothing to 0. For me, this tweak helped a lot with clarity but I initially didn't think it was working because I didn't know you had to log out.

* In general I've found Macs just suck at DPI scaling. If I'm not mistaken, your monitor is around 109 PPI, which isn't really that high compared to the internal screen (~250ppi), and firmly in the "non-Retina" UI elements zone. Check out these blog posts (https://bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays/, part 2: https://bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays2/) for more info on how this stuff works.

Imagine my surprise when I found out my 27" 4K screens that look incredibly sharp on Windows at 163ppi are actually in the "bad zone" for Macs, and look bad at native resolution. As a workaround I run them scaled @ 3360 x 1890 and then set my browser to permanent 90% zoom level. Kind of embarrassing that Windows has completely lapped Apple in terms of good sharp UI at flexible scaling levels. I mean you can set Windows DPI scaling down the single % point, it's great.

This bit form Sabine Hossenfelder's comment is something that I've personally also started to think about lately:

> It’s easy enough to address the problem: Give every scientist a basic education on the sociology and philosophy of science, and social and cognitive biases.

Granted, I'm not a scientist, but even from the very far outside (i.e. the position from where I'm writing this comment) one can see that that knowledge about the "sociology and philosophy of science" seems to be lacking in today's scientific community.
Hand-crafting new code could become a hobby activity. Most will simply be hand-finished. Take the crudely made starter code and smooth it out. Because why wait for an imperfect human to do it when a GPT might provide equally imperfect output?

A never ending code review where the revisions become the responsibility of the reviewer. That won’t burn anyone out.

Or you get to write prompts.
Wait, since when is 120m2 considered small for 3 bedrooms? That's quite a large apartment.
Its pretty much the same.

The reason why NAT with ipv4 works is because routers by default do not forward any incoming traffic from outside to inside host unless there is an entry in the lookup table based on ports or based on port forwarding rules. The important thing to realize is that the local ip addresses (192.x, 10.x, e.t.c) don't actually matter - they can be replaced with any schema as far as router is concerned, and made public. And this is because the core routing logic of the entry table based on port doesn't change.

Ipv6 implementation doesn't really differ in this. With IPV6 routers can deny incoming traffic to the particular machine without a previous outgoing request connection, just like in the IPV4 NAT implementation. Receiving end knowing the full ip address of the machine (and even then, with privacy extensions, that ip address will no longer be valid in a day) doesn't really do anything against you security wise.

However, unlike IPV4, if you actually want to set up connectivity across networks and in fact enable routers to forward traffic based on the ip address, you don't have to deal with NAT translation, udp hole punching, e.t.c.

And furthermore, forcing harder endpoint security is a good thing. Routers are notoriously easy to exploit in a lot of cases, and once an attacker is on a router, NAT is worthless. Likewise for IoT devices that can be exploited through http based attacks against central servers also give you the same access.
And then using that small thing as a subroutine that you can call into to repeat that same functionality...

You still have not clarified this sentence:

> From a lot of (bad) places you don't know at the time of order whether it is going to be home delivery or not

What do you mean by that? I am not discussing what to do with expensive packages or the merits of dropoff locations. I literally just asked what you mean when you say you do not know if a package that’s shipped to your home will be delivered to your home.

Also, what did you mean by this if you don’t live in the US?

> The whole concept that we (well, the US at least) have porch pirates is just wild. Why?
Most already banked people could realistically achieve it if KYC/AML and FATCA-like reporting requirements were eliminated. It is not technically infeasible, but as we both pointed out infeasible due to government imposed limitations.
"I'm not worried if the benevolent dictator turns on me because on that day I'll just stop using an iPhone."
IPv6 is very similar to IPv4 it's just IPv4 wasn't a consumer grade protocol either. The problem isn't the protocol it's that there is little incentive for the average user to switch to anything else on their own volition when most didn't even really set up what they are switching from (and already working on today) anyways.
I can't comment on Windows, but with regards to apple, they really don't. Sure they strut around like they have but really, they've tweaked some user apps like Mail and Safari, and made bug fixes under the covers. Every now and then they do something like muck with background scheduling, but mostly... it's just bug fixes and new APIs that don't invalidate old ones.

The only problem I've had is dylib files relentlessly moving forward in versions and old ones not being available anymore, but i don't _think_ that's really an apple problem. That and the M1 architecture transition has moved some folders around for reasons I don't understand.
