It hasn’t but it’s on the right track. I am working as a developer in one of the federal agencies and have direct contact with the efforts.

It helps a lot that public agencies can now offer a so called IT Zulage of a few hundred euros to 1000 per months that brings salaries on par with the private sector. In my team, this worked wonders and we managed to get some really good people.

On the other hand, the task is enormous, we were discussing last week that if we had double the man power, we would still have the same workload, because we push back on a lot of things. We have about 70 projects that we wrote and maintain and a backlog of another 12 waiting to be started.

BWI has the same problem, I’ve been approached multiple times by them for this project, which from my knowledge is being intensely worked since many years.
Wow.. much of these is news to me.

Can You Generate Data with GPT-3? We Explore Fake Dating with Fake Data
ChatGPT has taken the tech world by storm, but its older cousin GPT-3 is still relevant. Being able to connect to the text completion API through python allows you to use the large language model to generate synthetic data with bespoke distributions.

The application is limited, however, as the lack of on-prem deployment limits your ability to show the model your proprietary data to learn from.
It is. It reminds me of that unhinged essay in praise of Hillary Clinton:

> Maybe she is more than a president. Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself.

No criticism meant of either VSCode or Hillary Clinton, but sometimes fans take things a bit too far.
It is not easy to detect UNLESS you have a geiger counter. Those Russian soldiers dug trenches around Tchernobyl blissfully unawhere of any problems. They carried the dirt into the dwellings and labs where people still have to work, causing ongoing problems.

If you don't decontaminate and check everything, then any radioactive dirt that gets stuck on you or your equipment can do its damage for a long time. Worse is when you somehow ingest it and it stays inside. Does happen.
ditto.

I think the build from d12frosted on homebrew do not have the new native comp feature enabled. Not sure if that's a limitation of running on the M1. But on the M1, Emacs is fast and snappy regardless.
> But you know, putting in the work to write down a specification isn't really a marvel of engineering. It's ... just putting in the work.

It's no marvel of engineering, but someone did put in the work, and others used it, more that can be said about many other things that might be "better engineered".
That's the advantage of choosing Matrix: it is compatible with a multitude of clients and servers, so take your pick. No need to install the BundesMessenger frontend. No need to trust the government, how very un-German.
Heh, sadly those only work on tempered glass and this was acrylic.

It appears the bonded seams between acrylic sections failed.
The intent was to say that the code is not yet ready to fully replace your current database. Other systems generally have decades of development and although Didgets does many things, it has not replicated full database functionality at this point.

But it does allow you to quickly import a data set into a table and do a variety of analytic or cleaning operations on it and it is easy enough to do that even a novice without any SQL skills could do it.

Our hope is that enough people will notice its strengths that we can get the resources needed to finish the remaining pieces.

Is there a different mapping of FFT information to a two dimensional image that would make harmonic relationships more obvious?

IE, use a polar coordinate system where angle 12 oclock is 440hz, and the 12 chromatic notes would be mapped to the angle of the hours. Maybe red pixel intensity is bit mapped to octave, IE first, third and eight octave: 0b10100001.

Time would be represented by radius. Unfortunately the space wouldn't wrap nicely like if there was a native image format for representing donuts.
> Unless one of those people is my cousin Charlene

The GP's statement can be reworded as a kept secret implies at most one living person knows it. Leaked secrets aren't counter-examples to the GP's statement.

Assuming Charlene isn't a murderer or a ghost (i.e. all of her secrets involve one of the parties being dead), she reinforces the GP's implicit point that it's very difficult to keep a conspiracy a secret unless one of the conspirators ensures all of the other conspirators die off shortly after.
How to spot a 'short snorter'
In general people build dams to #1 store water, #2 save lives, and only a distant 3rd generate power.

Most of the 62 dams that collapsed in that hurricane where not hydroelectric dams. And it’s not clear the existence of these dams played that significant role in the death total considering China’s history with even more devastating floods.
I dabble in music production and know some of the people in the "Lofi" world, so I know for a fact that this is not true. It's just a formulaic sub-genre where people are trying to make similar instrumentals with the same vibe. It would be jarring to listen to a playlist while studying and each song had wildly different tempos, instruments, etc.

Also, the music doesn't sound "Lofi" because it's generated by algorithms. A lot of hard work and software goes into taking a clean, pitch-perfect digital signal and making it sound like something playing on a record player from the 70s.
Damn way to be a condescending dickhead.
Neat writeup, if missing the mathematical portion that speeds it up.

One callout if folks think about implementing something similar. Euclidean distance on a sphere has unintended consequences. Great circle distance would be more appropriate.
Indeed. They are pretty big into cutting edge CPU design. I've seen some pretty cool system architecture coming from them as well. e.g. their cache setups on z mainframes[0]

Fructose is metabolized via triglycerides iirc and so has a longer and different pathway to becoming blood sugar. That doesn't in itself mean anything good or bad. Honey is basically the same sucrose/fructose ratio as high fructose corn syrup, for what it's worth
Paper here: https://oa.mg/pdf/10.1093-nutrit-nuac086.pdf
Actually it's the anti-nuclear crowd that frames pro-nuclear people in a way that pretends it's only coal or nuclear. The reality is that we are 80% fossil and biofuel and need everything that is at least 10x better on climate and health, which includes major expansion of wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, geothermal.

The amount of energy transition we need is nearly unfathomable. To tie our hand behind our back because we are afraid of nuclear in this race is unwise.

Antinuclear scare mongerers are forcing the Fukushima people to purify water so far below the natural radioactivity of seawater (which does contain slightly radioactive potassium and uranium) that it's truly ridiculous. That drives up costs unecessarily.

Anyway what's the cost of failing to solve climate change or the cost of killing 8 million people per year with combustion?

> Where/how did we fail in our educational and cultural activities

The glorification of "contrarianism" is probably a good place to start. Nobody trusts institutions any more. Nobody trusts experts any more. However, they do trust people they see as their "rebel" kin, whether that's Paul Krugman or Alex Jones. That creates an environment ripe not only for political disinformation but also many kinds of profit-oriented manipulation (e.g. yesterday's bust of YouTube pump-and-dumpers). Contrarianism is not the same as true independent thought; more often than not it's just delegating one's thought processes to different people.

This infatuation with contrarianism itself has a complicated history. The current strain tends to be right/libertarian, going back approximately to the Reagan era. But before that the hippies were strongly anti-establishment in their own way. (If you want to see how this kind of left/right shift works BTW, you could do worse than to study the life of Lyndon LaRouche.) From a longer view, this same set of attitudes goes back at least to the founding of the US, with a vision of liberty that was heavy on individual freedom of action but light on things like responsibility or collaboration. The actual Enlightenment philosophers in Europe mostly had a more balanced set of views. Many people who love to cite Adam Smith, for example, are shocked when they see what he actually had to say about these things. Somehow, though, only half of the Enlightenment message made it across the Atlantic. (Quite likely something to do with the religious element, but that's a whole essay unto itself.)

Back to the topic, Musk is very much one of those "anti-establishment" influencers, but becoming establishment himself which is why so many former fans are now turning on him - joining those who had enough historical/philosophical context to see already what kind of person he is. You need look no further than any Musk/Tesla/Twitter story right here to see this happening.

The problem is not so much that institutions don't exist but that they can't exist in an environment where nobody trusts (and therefore supports) them. First we need to draw a clearer line between contrarianism for social capital vs. actual independent thought. Only then can people see which now-dismissed institutions actually support and/or embody such thought, and begin to trust them again. Until then it will just be one cult of personality after another.

Ask HN: Can someone explain why the Pāṇini’s Machine is so important?
When my ancestors came to Canada, they settled their own land, lost half the family in the winters, and many of them still ended up trying to return to Ireland. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how that's an "easier" experience than the route taken by folks today. There's tens of thousands of acres unsettled land left in Canada, but for whatever reason the vast majority of our new Canadians end up in the GTA.

The process of immigrating to North America today is so entirely different from how it was the 1800s it's a bit disingenuous to equate the two.
> Hubris of an inexperienced engineer imho.

This seems unnecessarily hostile. I've worked with cloud infrastructure and security for more than 10 years. If you have experience of unencrypted disks being stolen from AWS I'm very interested to hear about it.

Note, though, that I don't claim one shouldn't encrypt disks, but I consider it to be very low on the list of priorities when it comes to lowering risk. There is almost always risk-lowering actions with better cost:benefit ratio than encrypting disks in the cloud, since that risk is already so low.

Initial price is discounted yes.

But annual "support" fees are still 20% (or is it 25% now?) of list price.
...Flight plans are public record, and must be filed ahead of time. I'm not aware of the acceptability of deviating from them; IFR I believe may be verboten, but VFR you might have leeway.

Besides which, taking the "scenic route" while flying completely defeats the point of flying being the most direct way to get from point A to point B. Hence the front loading of the airport security model.

You do as little "in air" security as possible, because that crap is horrifyingly expensive because physics.

1. If you don't encounter any trouble daily driving GNU/Linux, that is actually a sign of inexperience. That or you're doing nothing interesting.

2. If principles mattered more than convenience, most Linux users would be on FreeBSD or OpenBSD instead of GNU/Linux. Either follow your arguments to their conclusions, or understand that Windows/macOS users are doing the same thing as you—making practical tradeoffs.

3. Unless you are doing tons of system administration on your daily driver, most of your time is spent in applications, and the choice of operating system doesn't matter too much.
Irrationally over valued stock becomes slightly less over valued. Is Musk to blame for the market becoming slightly more rational? (To be clear, I do not think that is the case for the price drop. Rationality isn't entering into it.)

Or do stock holders feel that he is obligated only to improve the value of their stock? What if this is just a dip then? Will they be liable for "tarnishing his image" if this turns out to be some sort of ninja move, and somehow Musk and any company he's associated with becomes, once again, the flavor of the day; "stonks" for serious folks?

"Line stopped going up" does not seem to be a sound basis for a lawsuit.

Nail in the coffin for me yesterday when I restarted my computer to boot into windows and it had a splash screen begging me to "upgrade" to windows 11. I click no, another splash screen begging me in other terms. I click "no" (actually, no, it was probably more like "some other time" or "remind me again in the future"), ANOTHER SPLASH SCREEN.

Mind you I have my grub set to boot into windows by default so that if there's a power outage, my game streaming and backup setup, which is on my windows partition for now, will relaunch if I'm traveling or something. Yet if it had booted into that stupid splash screen, Steam and etc won't have been able to launch, and I'd have been SOL!

I hate windows!!!!! I can't wait to get EVERYTHING onto linux. I have a todo to see about using proton compatibility for desktop gaming, it works great on steam deck. After that the only remaining thing is ableton, and I'll have been completely freed from windows forever!

Those are are all reductions with 95% certainty. That's somewhat significant, especially combined, is it not?
I think a big factor that hasn't been mentioned is how the honey was consumed. Was it on an empty stomach? Before, during, after a meal? What did the meal contain? Does consuming it after waking up or before going to bed have an effect?

Just saying something is beneficial for your health without knowing the method of consumption is like saying sunscreen is good for you without mentioning it's supposed to go on your body and not in your mouth.
Only superficially does it increase wages.

Studies show that immigration counter-intuitively improves the wages of the lower class, mainly through 2 effects:

1. Immigrants spend money. "A rising tide floats all boats".
2. Immigrants take the entry level positions. So in a country without immigrants a high school dropout might become a janitor. But with immigrants the immigrant becomes the janitor and the high school dropout now has differentiable skills -- aka a solid grasp of English. So they get a position as a manager or customer facing position or something.

Put a different way, with immigration the wages of janitors goes down, but native born citizens are more likely to have better jobs than janitor.

My father got caught up in nutrition conspiracy and "alkaline diets", and now won't have a milkshake with a hamburger because "all the milk makes it harder to digest" since according to him it's neutralizing your stomach acid.

These results seem inconsistent with the current understanding that the majority of the sugar in honey comes from fructose, and as such can be very damaging to the liver (fructose is a major contributing factor for 'fatty liver disease.') 'Use in moderation' is a fine cover-your-butt, but how many people do you know who consume anything in moderation, especially in the USA?

Multi-day settlement is good for market stability. If there is an error, it gets picked up in clearing. If there is a catastrophe, the regulator can cancel the day's trading. T+2 would be an improvement, but less than that would create new problems.

Something the US could do to improve its situation would be to change from end of day novation to novation within five seconds of a trade. This might reduce the amount of capital that firms had to post.
> No, people in the public sphere do not think Musk is doing OK with Twitter. They thought he was doing well when all they saw was him on stage taking credit for Tesla and SpaceX's engineering work.

Prior to the Twitter situation, lots of people thought of Musk along the lines of being a new Henry Ford (American industrialist) or being a real life Tony Stark (Marvel's Iron Man tech genius character). With the successes of SpaceX and Tesla, many thought he could do no wrong.

Musk has certainly done massive damage to his image, and many well known business experts are calling him out for massively overpaying for Twitter, his management style, and even for trapping himself into the situation in the first place.

Hi! I'm a repeat entrepreneur who recently raised $150k from friends & family for my next company. I spent a couple of months looking into building trading tools for defi, but have concluded now is not the best time to do that and want to pivot.

Since Matrix (and thus BundesMessenger?) currently doesn't provide standard security guarantees for its end-to-end encryption (the mitigation to the "Simple confidentiality break" from https://nebuchadnezzar-megolm.github.io/ is still in the design phase; same for the IND-CCA break, but that doesn't seem exploitable in practice) I wonder how much the German government cares about E2EE for its civil servants? The blog post mentions E2EE prominently, but any insights to share on whether that mattered for this particular adoption?

I provided it: "plausible-but-unproven accusation"

You had said "this is itself a conspiracy theory" and then provided evidence that it was false. Therefore it is simply false. But the implication seemed to be that "conspiracy theory" = "something that is false but people still believe"

My point was that, similar to many of the other "-ist"s, a term can have a technically valid meaning yet still be misused in bad faith to shut down debate. (Not at all saying that's what you were doing - just seemed like a relevant place to make the point.)
I dont know anyone who thought input == output. Diets like keto clearly show the opposite.
Something to keep in mind is that any intelligence service gets blamed for their failures, but gets no bump in reputation for their successes. This means that the more activities any service does, the worse their reputation will be. Because no one has a 100% track record.
I remember around a decade ago when I first got into programming, I was super excited that OCaml would soon get multicore, regularly checking the progress.

Yes and no. Tracking airplanes is something hobbyists have been doing for decades; there are people who hang out by airports and record every flight in and out. The PIA program can be useful for realtime masking but the information is far from secret — nor should it be, imo.
