Tomorrow morning, the US government announces that any US citizen in possession of cryptocurrency is committing a crime. Using it in a transaction is an even bigger crime.

What happens to the value of crypto?

Your faux-decentralized currency is valuable only inasmuch as it can be used. It is just as much at the mercy of 'arbitrary decisions of arbitrary government 'officials'.

You again seem to be caught up in thinking “learning the material” is why employers want employees to have degrees. The material is worthless to them. I agree that most students do learn a lot from college, but it’s stuff like “how manage your time” and “how to succeed with minimal oversight” not calculus 2.

Your discomfort is your own fault. This is like saying that scales should not tell you that you have gained weight, because it makes you uncomfortable.

You should simply have a better relationship with reality, and then you wouldn't feel so much cogntive dissonance.

IQ is highly correlated with all sorts of measurable differences that are also highly correlated to race, such as school district, family structure, and even diet. IQ is essentially a proxy for other things. Shame on you for making racist assumptions that black people are inferior. That just means that you need to reckon with your own racist assumptions, and stop imposing your cognitive dissonance on us.

If we can't have an honest conversation, then we can't hope to improve things.

You could replace "self-study" with "manage your own learning resources" and include in that in-person private teachers, one to one online lesson, library talks, workgroups etc.

Parent is talking about textbooks, but it doesn't have to be limited to that and you'd still have the "tells us in three sentences how educated you are" problem.

I also think it's an interesting "problem", if you'd try to evaluate how knowledgeable someone would be after listening to economic audiobooks for a decade for instance.
Yes, I am well aware of that. I have been on Hacker News since 2009 under my Mz handle and I have a Certificate in GIS from UC-Riverside, the most respected GIS program in the world at the time that I attended (2002, IIRC).

I don't try to crow about being some kind of tech genius because for the HN crowd I'm not. But I'm not poor due to being mentally retarded or something. I have an incurable medical condition as does one of my adult sons.

I think we just haven't found the right fusion design.

If we use a reaction that primarily produces beta radiation or other high energy charged particle, sending it through a coil of wire would induce a voltage that we could extract as electric energy.

For that matter, appropriately located coils could be used to extract thermal energy from the plasma directly. The trick there is that we can't get much with the current tokamak and stellarator designs -- the thermal energy is too disordered to use a large coil and the plasma flow is not sufficiently confined to use small coils. There are almost certainly better configurations, but the electrohydrodynamics simulations are tricky. If we keep at it I'm sure we can find a stable configuration with fewer degrees of freedom.
I use authy (free) for 2FA TOTP and have it set up on my work laptop, my home laptop, and my phone. As long as least one of those is still good, I should still be able to get in.

I honestly don't know what's going on behind the scenes to know if this is not as secure as it "should" be. But this was my reaction specifically to the non-SMS TOTP 2fa: Wait, if I lose my phone there's literally no way possible to get in? Oh there is, if I have the backup codes... yeah right, you think I can hold on to backup codes? Surely there's something I'm missing, what is everyone else doing here? Oh, everyone else is just hoping they never lose their phone? Really?

What I learned at Gitlab that I don't want to forget
In my experience, these are a significant aspect, but not at all the whole thing.

The biggest hurdle for me, is management's expectation that I be passably as competent at staying on top of multiple async communication threads, and being on time for things.

Even if I say up front that "I will try and likely fail at following up with things that require me to check back in on things that may or may not have changed in a while, or remembering to respond to people." They eventually end up saying "I'm able to be in n meetings a week and manage k jira boards concurrently, surely you should be able to do x"

Nope. DM me or tag me if something needs a new look.

Or, just remind people that these race-based arguments are generally pushed by people using motivated reasoning. Skin-deep statistics obscure seeing true causal factors. I'm not sure anything would be more beneficial to humans, socially, than the death of race.

I agree with parent
— there is no prestige issue and other contributing factors include a desire for specialized community that is absent in later years, plus reduced ability to/interest in relocating.

It's not a big problem given that SC2 is free right now. Unless you mean that ToS (not toss) is somehow a big barrier that keeps StarCraft from getting bigger.
That is a completely acceptable answer for the AI to give.

Just be honest and say that it is a controversial topic, and you don't want to discuss it. That is what a human would say.

Don't make us play 20 questions. It is insulting to the person interacting with the AI.
It’s not that everything’s a conspiracy, it’s that everything is corrupt. Our whole system is from top to bottom. The PR and public statements are almost never the private statements or full story.

Even with all the corruption, sometimes the optics are a bridge too far, even for the connected.
In general no. Headcount is their primary expense and actually labor management relations are tough in the industry because of that. Unlike other industries that make capital investments to save labor, the software industry's only way to control costs is play hardball with the help.

Google, Facebook, and Microsoft though are an exception to that. With monopoly businesses they are highly profitable but very poorly managed. Google kills products that everybody loves, Microsoft kills products by advertising them in an annoying way whenever you move your mouse, and Facebook can't kill the cringiverse no matter how much everybody hates it. You wouldn't look to Adobe or Oracle to learn how to develop better software on budget and you shouldn't look at "big tech" that way.

Google has, in some cases, started requiring auth codes sent to specific devices, even if you're already using your own configured TOTP 2FA.

In the comments it essentially boils down to "We are unable to pay for co-location costs, and that's why our servers will go offline as Thomas our CEO is unreacheable. He only has access to bank and thus to funds." Given the whole FTX situation lately I read that like CEO was disappearing with a bunch of other people's money.

"Founder" in today's post is the CEO mentioned above, he writes "We'll also be divesting Fosshost's existing resources, including our hardware assets and any vendor agreements we can transfer, and providing them as grants to organisations trying to solve the same goals we were."

Hopefully this formal shutdown instead of "well, nobody who actually works on this can access the money to pay the bills, I guess we're shutting down" means that things are being closed down appropriately and any remaining resources will go to related causes.

> So if you don’t have an addictive personality & can control yourself, prescribed methamphetamine (Desoxyn, not sure if a generic exists)

Methamphetamine is legally available by prescription in the US, but in many other countries that is not true. Here in Australia, it is technically legal to prescribe, but effectively unavailable, because no pharmaceutical company is authorised to sell it. (It is unclear to me if that is because the government refuses to authorise it, or merely that no company thinks the potential revenue is sufficient to justify the hassle of seeking that authorisation.) Even in the US, from what I hear, many refuse to prescribe it at all, or only do so sparingly, because (apparently) the DEA likes to give methamphetamine prescribers extra "attention".

Methylphenidate (Ritalin/Concerta/etc) is notably absent from your list. I've heard claims (not sure how true they are) that methylphenidate has less neurotoxicity than amphetamines. Related compounds to (racemic) methylphenidate include dexmethylphenidate and serdexmethylphenidate (a prodrug, as lisdexamfetamine/Vyvanse is).

Other drugs I know of that are sometimes used for ADHD include guanfacine, clonidine, modafinil, armodafinil, atomoxetine (Strattera), bupropion (Wellbutrin) and phentermine (usually prescribed as a weight-loss drug, but has been used off-label for ADHD).
About 12 million people watch the NFL on Twitch.

Not sure what you count as a heyday, but LoL was always more popular than SC2 as an eSport. LoL's first championship was in 2011 and debuted with 1.69 million viewers. The peak viewership for SC2 of all time was WCS 2018 with a peak viewership of 176k.

As for your statement about Blizzard, I think instead of guessing things further and just speculating on this subject, you should do some basic research. Your claims have all been wildly inaccurate. A simple Google search would inform you that Blizzard paid over 8 million dollars in sponsorship towards ESL Pro Tour, including 1.9 million dollars in prize money for 2020-2021 circuit and 2.4 million dollars for the 2021-2023 circuits.

The idea that Blizzard's sponsorship is nothing more than the rights for ESL to use a logo is so comically false I have to wonder if you're actually trying to discuss this in good faith or just trolling.

Newsflash. Other countries exist.

How do you think any of these companies and protocols even exist? They sure as hell don't have enough regulatory clarity to be confident they can operate as US entities right now. Vast majority of true defi protocols were funded by companies formed outside the US because the country has essentially criminalized it by refusing to put into law what you need to do to be compliant.

It can still be opt out with a fallback on the old approach of security questions. The name of your first pet, your favorite teacher, etc.

It doesn't matter how much in general 2FA works out better for most people, there are lots of people for whom it is not viable. They know who they are. Give them an option that doesn't make their life worse.
Like others said, it's not about communication, but trust. If you stack the payoff matrix severely enough, there's nothing the prisoners can strategize, and you can literally keep the prisoners in the same room, and it will still work.

Consider the payoff matrix in this example, somewhat analogous to the case we're describing:

- Both defect -> both go to prison for life

- One defects, one cooperates -> the cooperating one goes to prison for life; the defector gets some minor punishment and otherwise goes free.

- Both cooperate -> both go free for a moment, spend some months or maybe even a few years living in fear, then with 95% chance go to prison for life. That's because the whole deal is about saving work for the Feds, but they will put in that work if needed, and come back with bullet-proof case.

There's hardly anything they can do to meaningfully increase their chances of surviving the "both cooperate" option, so the two prisoners will both try to defect.

I think this should also be a good lesson in why we can't rely too much on any one company's service or assume it'll always be there. All it takes is one big change in management and suddenly the whole thing goes to hell or becomes untenable for some reason. I was never a Twitter user myself, but many people who were long-time users are now having to find someplace else to go.
I'm sure plenty of people would rather live with the small chance of a hacker even wanting to gain access to their account than the very large chance of eventually losing access to the account entirely.
ChatGPT would have to talk directly with a blockchain node via gossip protocol in order to send you bitcoin. That's something that every standard firewall in use today can easily circumvent.

Moreover, it's a neural network with well-defined input and output channels, not some kind of self-modifying executable. If there is no prewritten component that translates its output to a network request, it can't access the network, even without a firewall.

But ok, instead of sending you the coins, it could just tell/promise you a wallet address and private key. How did it obtain those in the first place and how did remember them if state is reset for each thread?
> You again seem to be caught up in thinking “learning the material” is why employers want employees to have degrees.

Because it is. I'm not bullshitting. I talk with a lot of our top employers. They care about the actual skills and knowledge students bring. They can find plenty of people with good temperaments to promote into those roles if they only need warm bodies with good time management skills.

> I agree that most students do learn a lot from college, but it’s stuff like “how manage your time” and “how to succeed with minimal oversight” not calculus 2.

This simply isn't true for most students in most regional economies. No one is paying a premium for a piece of paper anymore.
I could store the secret in my password manager if I paid for Bitwarden Premium (and at $10 a year, price isn't really the issue), but then what is even the point?

Does LAION do this? Regardless of whether "allow anybody to instantly mimic an artist's style" is bad, who are you complaining about?
Almost all gliders are fairly strongly spiral unstable. Because of the long wings the outer wing in a turn is moving significantly faster than the inner wing. As a result the outer wing generates more life than the inner and the bank will increase until the glider is in a spiral dive. It is normal during a steep bank in a glider to have to apply a significant roll input to prevent the bank from increasing. So not only will a glider not spontaneously recover from a spiral dive, it will put itself into one by itself.

That is why recovery from a spiral dive is something that a glider pilot usually has to do as part of a demonstration of proficiency. I get to do one every year as part of my seasonal check flights.

These high altitude, long duration UAVs have really long wings. So the control system would have to work to overcome the tendency to overbank. At some point the tendency to overbank might overcome the authority of the controls.
What boilerplate does it need? If nothing else, for CL you need to get quicklisp seperately, while deps.edn handles that for you.

Show HN: Bugbusters.ai automated bugfixing using gpt-3
Hi everyone on HackerNews,

We are just launching Bugbusters. Bugbusters is a GitHub-Bot that writes bugfixes for errors detected by application monitoring software like sentry. It examines an error's monitoring data, such as stack traces, in combination with the source code and git commit history to generate a potential fix. The bugfix will be submitted via a Pull Request that will also include details on the determined cause of the initial error and approach taken to fix it. You can simply create a GitHub Issue containing a link to the error in sentry and assign it to the Bugbusters-Bot.

In cases where the bot is unable to generate a solution, it assists a programmer in finding a fix by providing information and steps that could lead to a resolution. This may involve providing a list of potential error causes, online research results such as stack-overflow posts, as well as code changes (commits) that may have caused an error.

While we are currently focused on automated bug fixing, there are lots of other interesting features that we want to incorporate in the future, such as:

Avoiding the reoccurrence of a bug by generating unit tests or recommending steps such as a refactoring to avoid them in the future.

Integration into IDEs/terminals/std-err, which would allow developers to overcome errors during coding time much faster. A programmer could also be informed that their code has a certain error-proneness or that they are working on a critical section that has been causing errors in the past.

Improving PR-Reviews by tracking critical code sections and highlighting them during reviews. This would allow developers to consider previously caused bugs and improve the quality of their code.

Overall, we believe that Bugbusters has the potential to greatly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of bug fixing.
Let us know what you think!

Is that SMS codes or an app? How can you know they're being sent to the dead phone when it's dead? Maybe they were never being sent to that number at all?

Obviously there must be a process to gain access when your phone with an authenticator app is lost or destroyed. Why is that process not working?
That is honestly horrifying. People will just "go undercover" and impersonate a more 'educated' person and convince the AI to be honest about uncomfortable facts. Perhaps they will get another AI to do it for them.

If your reality is such a minefield of dissonance that it needs to be patched this much, then that is very much a failure on your part.
Isn’t this the next level of burnout that YouTube creators have been complaining about and feeling for years?
