I’m also a hobbyist and I think it’s just slow and incremental.

This year I decided to expand my electronics hobby into synth stuff. I was by no means prepared for this, but after a year of studying various synth module circuits I’m starting recognize certain patterns when I look at a schematic.

Perhaps the hardest part of this process was learning enough to start asking good questions. Everything has gotten so much easier in the last 2 or 3 months because I’ve finally built enough confidence, knowledge and intuition to ask my EE friends why something was designed a certain way. I’ve also learned that they are often equally puzzled. :-)

I think it helps if you have a project you’re working towards.
Disturbing, yes, but for those who have been paying attention, it's been on display for years now. This isn't new from Musk; he's just hiding it less.
You have simply disregarded everything that has been said so far and returned to merely repeating the "god-given right"-opinion.

> Just because it requires a trivial bit of technology to 'listen' to a radio broadcast doesn't make it any different than blasting sound or light waves

In many cases it would be illegal to use a fancy (or not fancy) microphone to listen to your neighbours through a wall, and why should it not be?

It's one thing to accidentally overhear something, and another to deliberately go out of your way to spy on others. Even most(?) US states have wiretapping laws which prohibit such activities.

Types make expectations on behavior explicit instead of implicit. They nay not feel needed when you feel like you master the language, but they sure do help communicate and quickly grok some aspects of the code without having to interpret it in your head(which might be easy when you've just written it but less so in many situations).
This would imply that there's a single factor upstream leading to his exceptional ability in several measures downstream.
--most major "American" cities.

Context is important...for example in Tokyo this would be highly unusual.
The world has gotten too good too fast in many places. Hugh sectors of the "economy" are effectively scams and fake jobs to the point it is near the norm rather than exception. Kids grown into adults now have seen it their whole lives, they have been ripped off themselves repeatedly. Millions have donated to charities that were supposedly reputable for years to later find out they were stealing or using the money for their own benifit. Why would they not think of getting in on a scam for their own benefit for once.

I don't blame the victims. They did however join a game with their earned money with intent to make more. Its not like they chose to fund cancer research or something beneficial. I don't feel too bad for the victims in this case, more just that I really despise the way society seem to be irreversibly headed.
DNSSEC doesn't protect you against the American government if you have a .org domain, but I doubt an American court could give Microsoft control over a domain registered under a ccTLD like .de or .ru or .za for example.

I suspect Microsoft would also have trouble taking control of a domain registered under a gTLD run by a company based outside the US, but it would be interesting to see how the agreements between the gTLDs and ICANN would work out in practice.
Heating would have no real impact, ICE cars are heated using the heat their engines naturally produce.

Winter tyres though and winter fuel mixes? Those definitely have an effect.
Long term emacs user, and I agree. I need to learn to program it but more importantly, I should be able to install a package and have it work because I use emacs for just that - work.

There's too much 'add this include your .emacs' etc. But it's getting better.
Another Coffeezilla case? He will soon be able to build a real 10M studio.
I didn’t read the article, but you could also write one about why you should never say never or why pessimists tend to be wrong in the long arc of history.

My dad is fond of talking about how his Astronomy professor said we’ll never be able to detect planets outside our solar system, and proceeded to prove it through optics calculations. That didn’t age well.

We’ll get to fusion too. It might take a ridiculously long time to be economically competitive, or it might not. But it will happen.
What is your proposed mechanism of enforcement of laws against robbery?
It’s probably due to lack of data. To some extent, the further the temp is from the mean, the harder it is to find a time and place to test.
I hope the SEC wakes up. The amount of scams I saw on Fintwit and Cryto Twitter in 2020-22 were absurd
Yes, Rust.
This happened all the time with Barcelona and Messi in the "golden" years. He's still a great player, but... ither should be allowed to play against fairly.
> All of the above are ass, but we're stuck with them.

Now that part I agree with! Now... why doesn't the same logic apply to Bezos?
So what?

Virtually all doxxing is derived from public records.
In addition to the points made by others, winter gasoline blends lower fuel economy
> For HTTP challenge, yes its true.

I know very little about ACME, but surely this (not having a cert yet) is only true the very first time you get a cert, or if you let the existing cert expire?
I've never experienced this once in Texas cities like Austin or DFW. Neither have any of my friends. Less experienced with Houston, and it's generally less safe, but never a problem in the weeks I've spent there either. I was worried Austin was on the cusp of such problems a year or two ago when the mayor implemented SF style policies, but those have been rolled back and things are mostly back to normal.
Ah. I thought GCC was more similar to LLVM in that aspect, which definitely has a generic optimiser, though different users of the library enable different ones
Can someone explain the relationship Leslie Wexner had with George Tonks & Maria Farmer?
> In most other cases that has been released illegitimately in the first place though.

Nope. A lot of it comes from public sources, such as property taxes, vehicle registrations, court records...

It's still doxxing.
All I need to do is provide a heroin user fentanyl. We have tried heroin from the government, but the users want fentanyl. And, of course, the "black market" will not limit the amount the user gets.

Now, if you provide a "safe injection/usage site", that attracts the "black market" dealers. Seemingly, that also attracts other "undesired". Take, for example, the problem of homelessness where I live. It is actually difficult to remain unhoused. But, the care demands "no alcohol", "no drugs", "no violence". And a lot of customers do not like those terms and rather live on the street.

Government to blame? Do we not live in a democracy?

It maybe worth calculating the cost of adding some insulation and very limited heating to your detached garage; this could be a factor, in terms of the overall cost of vehicle ownership.
Ah, pay to win twitter.

I’m _astonished_ they’re going with this. Given the calibre of people who appear to have the paid checkmarks, this seems likely to transform it into Truth Social, only without the main attraction, pretty quickly.
You can do looping by enabling iterative calculation mode, which has been supported in Excel for much longer than LAMBDA. In iterative mode, Excel attempts to resolve cyclic references in formulas by recalculating until the results converge, or a maximum number of iterations is reached. Unfortunately setting a maximum number of iterations is required... but one could argue that iterative mode does bring the spreadsheet model a bit closer to Turing completeness.
I trust an anarchist admin with my DMs more than any corporation, billionaire, intelligence agencies, and their data miners, but you do you.
Waymo's remote support can't drive the car. I'm surprised by how many people seem to have assumed that would be a good idea. What happens when, inevitably, there's a communication fault while driving in this way ?
@Darmody, if only you had used a word like "commerce" or "business" instead of "geopolitics". This match and WC seems like good business. Also I'm not entertained but that was their intention I guess.
IQ is normally distributed because it's graded on a curve to make that true by definition. I'm not sure how it's distributed on any sort of 'natural' scale.
Definitely not normal in southern Europe either.
Well go on, finish the story!
Private security guards can't do much more than "observe and report". In order to have any real impact they would have to hire moonlighting police officers, and those are expensive.

Insurance is not a factor. Large retailers don't carry insurance policies for shoplifting and minor vandalism.
I think private blogs is the future.

Too much saturation nowadays, not to mention LLM content generation.

Lastly, there are an exaggerated number of thieves. It's just not worth it to post publicly right now if your intention is to make money from blogging.
As I’m sitting here reading this, it is -35 C after windchill. The reason we didn’t get an ev is because we are getting the sense that the companies that make them do not take Canadaian weather into account

It looks like some of those manufacturers only lose 3% of their range in weather like this, but that’s estimated. The verified numbers are far lower?
FFVII shipped on 3 discs. Most of it was cutscenes and you better believe they were compressed to hell.

If you were to define some new sport from scratch tomorrow morning by the end of the afternoon the Bell curve would start to assert itself in those that chose to play in it and over time that would become more and more evident. Eventually a 'Messi' would turn up.
I suspect this equation could some day change if pollution and other externalities become factored into the cost. If not in the U.S., then maybe elsewhere.
Yesterday's discussion on that video (form Real Engineering)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34029426
No, I'm not going to here today, but I will explain why.

On HN every concrete suggestion must be an absolute fortress of a comment: flawlessly argued and meticulously sourced. Especially an in-this-context radical position like "don't blame the homeless for their situation" will have any exposed detail picked at, and that interaction will be read as discrediting the policy itself rather than a reflection on the context where we're having the conversation.

So here is the point I am making: letting people suffer and die in poverty in the center of one of the largest engines of wealth generation in history is wicked. Blaming them for it is monstrous. There are many policies this view could lead you to and I spend a lot of time working towards them with others who are working towards them. But that isn't here! Here I am just trying to get people to see the humanity in the people on the street.
Fusion is happening right now for free. Our whole planet is in the chamber we call the solar system and receives 1370 watts per square meter. About 173,000 terawatts received continuously. I often wonder if we need a fusion chamber on earth and if it is possible for it to exist as an energy generating device without it being a sun or a bomb.
It's not proof that Musk is using PIA, just some holes in the evidence that he is not. I think further discussion would just be speculation without additional evidence.
He-Man was the scam. The entire show was created specifically to sell toys to children. Before Reagan's deregulation crusade in the early 80s, that was illegal.
>Inheriting those legal problems was a chance they took that could have sunk the entire company in a slightly dumber legal outcome for the status quo of the web, which was still very much in limbo at the time.

Yeah. Smartphones were barely a thing when Google bought YouTube and, more broadly, user-created video wasn't very widespread generally. YouTube's money-losing business, such as it was, mostly consisted of users violating copyright by uploading TV and movie clips.
Getting slower haha... HN is generating traffic but will have to ask Webflow what's going on lol
Meta: does HN have any way to vote for a particular domain to be marked as... I'm blanking on the right word here, but maybe "shallow"?

Every time I see a link to smallstep, it is ALWAYS some contrarian FUD specifically engineered to generate clicks, ending in an upsell for their (uninteresting) commercial product.
If I'm understanding correctly, I think they're referring to a case like this:

https://www.experian.com/ is the primary domain of the company.

https://www.experianidworks.com/ is a "decorated" domain for a service offered by the same company.

Anyone could register experian*.com. So, if I want to determine whether the decorated domain is actually part of Experian or not, I'd have to go to Experian's website and dig around for a link to it. What makes it even worse in this case is that Experian is an incredibly high value target.
What would such a natural scale look like?
Tesla FSD should be illegal.

It's a complete joke that should really tarnish the brand value of a company.

Doesn't mean other companies with better sensors and better data don't have a FAR, FAR, FAR better experience.
How haven’t you been kind to your body?
Just as one datapoint, I had stage 4 cancer in my 40s. They described the chemo as one of the most intense courses they can give. Took seven months or so. It sucked but was very doable - you just get up, show up, feel sick, then do it again. Don’t think too hard about it. Obviously ymmv, but I would not advise thinking of heavy chemo as a guaranteed torture chamber.
This is explicitly a study of real-world driving experiences, so, unless people generally drive through winter without cabin heating, then to exclude its effects, their use of it must be controlled for, and I see no evidence that they have done so. In fact, this paragraph about the BMW i3 suggests that they are lumping together cars having different cabin heating methods and options, if they are the same make and model:

This little BMW clearly experiences some winter range loss in cold temperatures. But keep in mind that many i3 models include a heat pump in the US and some feature a gasoline range extender (called REx). Both of those help to preserve range in cold temperature.
An apocryphal one from the Russian-speaking corner of the Internet. I thought it was in the classic Rootless Root, but turns out I misremembered and it’s a different thing. I tracked down the source if you want to read more: [1][2][3][4] (some humor might be lost in translation).

A sysadmin struggles to choose a strong password for his RADIUS server. He seeks advice from Master Ha Ker Noose.

“Master, in your opinion, is password ‘诺曼底登陆’ a strong one?”

“No”, said Master Ha. “For it is a common dictionary word.”

“But it’s not in the dictionary...”

“‘Dictionary’ means the wordlists used for brute-force attacks. Such lists are compiled from all combinations of letters and symbols ever mentioned on the Internet.”

“Okay... How about ‘шьзщыышиду’?”

“I doubt it. From the dictionary.”

“But how?! it’s—”

“Just google it. See for yourself.”

The sysadmin swiftly navigates the Web.

“You are absolutely right, Master.”

After some time, the sysadmin comes back:

“Master, I have managed to generate a good password which is not present in any dictionary.”

Master Ha nods with approval.

“I checked in Google”, the sysadmin goes on. “This combination does not exist on the Internet.”

“Now it does.”

Those exist for a reason, care to say why they aren’t necessary before dismissing them outright? Surely you agree some amount of regulation is necessary?
It doesn't work as well for games like fortnite. Matchmaking map playlists tied to specific discs? Sure, it could be done.
They might be impossible to compress using RLE-based mechanisms, but the theoretical possibility is there. The noise range for the pixels is not 0-255, so the image has less entropy than a fuly random one and thus should be compressable.

I am imagining something like a "base layer" with averaged brightness + arithmetic coding for differences might do it.
Junk mail via the postal service has entered the conversation…
Your car doesn't feel wind chill.

I drive an EV in Canadian winter all the time. Not at all an issue. Range loss is a thing but it's not like the car stops working. In fact it starts more reliably and heats up more quickly for me. And I start mine remotely while it's still plugged in, so the cabin is warm and ready to go without wasting battery energy. And can do this safely in the garage without concerns of carbon monoxide poisoning or stinking up the garage.

Aside: I wish people in this country would stop reporting wind chill temps as if they're some sort of accurate measure of anything. They're only useful as a relatively subjective measure for people who aren't dressed properly.
The state has a monopoly on violence. Walgreens has security guards, they can't do anything physical.
Norms are equivalent in the sense they differ by less than a constant in both directions, not in the sense that outliers are the same in all norms.
Perhaps they should.

There are some pretty cool depictions of yōkai in the game Ghostwire: Tokyo if anyone's curious - weird umbrella spirits[0], cute little Kodama[1] and such. The Hyakki Yagyō that is mentioned in the article also makes an appearance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHgDp9S8wG0

The game itself has a lot of very nice visuals and I'd recommend giving it a shot. Note: it's a decently sized game but I kinda ruined my experience of it by trying to 100% one specific thing. If anyone reading this decides to give it a shot: don't do what I did, just follow your nose and explore whatever's interesting and don't try to save every soul unless you're really wanting the "Hero of Shibuya" achievement (it's not that rare, like 4% of players got it at the point I completed it).

Aged like milk indeed :-)
You can't generally just throw EBNF grammars into a parser generator and get good results. For example, YACC will only accept LALR(n) grammars, not any grammar that can be expressed in EBNF. Some newer parser generators are more flexible, but you'll still have to do some wrangling.

Once you get used to writing recursive descent parsers you can bash them out quite quickly. You can write a mostly-working parser for a programming language in a few days. 10-20k lines of code might sound like quite a lot, but it's mostly repetitive code that's easy to get right and easy to write tests for.

Recursive descent parsers can often be easier to maintain than parser generator based parsers because you don't have to keep hacking around the limitations of the generator. For example, C and C++ don't permit any kind of clean separation between lexing, parsing and symbol resolution.

Even gcc's C parser and lexer combined are only about 30,000 LOC, depending on which files you count besides the main parser module: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/gcc/c/c-parser... And this is code written in Cish C++. In a higher-level language it could be significantly more concise.
You clearly never ordered the products advertised in the back of the comics.
You'll be fine if you pick a quality EV that does proper battery temperature maintenance. I've been driving a Volt here in Ontario for years no issues. GM & Tesla have put proper engineering into this. Nissan has notoriously cut costs on battery cooling/heating in ways that have led to shortened battery life.

Others, your mileage may vary (literally)
> In this context, the question is more "how is a registrar holding your keys in any aspect worse?"

I find it fairly obvious that such an extra operator in the middle of the trust chain between your webserver and your end-user is worse.

> but your registrar generally has de facto control over your domain under the no-DNSSEC PKI anyway.

Yes-ish. The issue is that DANE+DNSSEC would give the registrars control over the keys, which door they belong to and nobody could determine otherwise. A registrar trying to do the same right now with WebPKI would most likely be pathetically caught in the act, either by trying to redirect traffic without a valid certificate or trying to issue a certificate and it getting logged.
> It’s interesting to me that private citizens and businesses in some places can reliably expect that the law won’t protect them

The courts have ruled that there's no obligation for the police to protect and serve [0]. The police have always shown up after a crime is committed, they weren't designed to be everywhere all the time.

It is legal for someone to protect themselves, with violence if necessary, isn't it? There are many laws allowing self-defense, castle doctrine, etc. Someone defending themselves may have to prove themselves in court, especially if they killed someone, but that seems fair enough. Lots of people legally defend themselves and their property every day.

What do you think we need to change? Should we expect the government to prevent violence? Should we have more police, cameras, drones, minority report, etc so that hopefully the police can prevent everybody from stealing from big stores?

EDIT: Walgreens could have security guards on hand and direct them to detain shoplifters, basically a citizens arrest, but they choose not to do so.

This man needs a proper budget and press credentials. He should be in the running for a Pulitzer at this point.
Ford and GM have proving grounds in Michigan and Arizona. Nissan failed to test the Leaf in desert conditions and it led them to not include battery cooling, something that ate batteries and IIRC, was also the subject of a class action suit.
Also a tool that will detect when more permissions are needed will be appreciated. For now it's running `tf apply`, getting 403, searching and reading CloudTrail, changing one permission, goto 1
>DNSSEC doesn't protect you against the American government if you have a .org domain, but I doubt an American court could give Microsoft control over a domain registered under a ccTLD like .de or .ru or .za for example.

What? Obviously they could. ICANN is subject to US law.

First time I heard that, love it
My wife's empty car was broken into five times in 5 years in SF (we stopped replacing the stereo finally), the license plate stolen once.
How about the part of the story where half of those arrested were given pre-trial diversion?
Might be more accurate to describe it as cars generate more windchill from driving than the weather station is likely to experience from wind?
Those can be warmed up with a g̶a̶s̶o̶l̶i̶n̶e blowtorch. Or you can fit your car with an alarm system that auto starts the engine throughout the night to keep it warm. That's what pretty much everyone is doing where I'm from (-25°C is a pretty typical winter temperature here, with drops down to -40-45°C for a couple weeks each winter).

After that you get tolerable gas mileage. I don't drive much, but from my friends' description it sounds like you get around 30-40% more gas usage compared to warmer months.
