Let's see

1. I think the electronic component shortage will not be as bad but still not normalised.
2. Europe faces another severe heat wave in summer
3. Russian-Ukrainian war will have Russia attempt another breakthrough in earlish 23 but largely face another standstill, both start easing their language around requirements for peace.
4. Europe will continue rearmament, possible some nascent attempts at more unified supply buying
5. Twitter is going to slow it's pace of policy changes, Musk will eventually move aside but with tight reins, Twitter will more or less look much like it did prior to his take over. Maybe attempts at an everything app, but unlikely and expect failures in it anyway.
6. Meta will face disappointing sales of vr headsets at Christmas. Zuckerberg will be facing greater pressure to act on the losses, possibly spin off the VR.
7. The Microsoft Activision deal will face serious threat, will be a general horn for increased action by regulators across the board on mergers and acquisitions.
8. Increased competitiveness between OpenAI, Google, Facebook and Microsoft towards creating a viable AI product, good for us, it should keep prices reasonable.

I'm not sure of your motivation either, but we all have our biases; those are powerful predictions, and it's a shame you've been hit with such a downvote attack.
For #2, imagine how fast a new Trump presidency (unlikely, I think, but you take my point) would stop shipments to Ukraine. Also a very large economic impact here (say something twice the size of 2008) might have our government at least focused on something else rather than having to explain why a bunch of citizens are homeless and hungry but we are sending billions to Ukraine every month. It is one thing to support a war across the world when it is "just money" and everyone here is mostly fat and happy. It is altogether something else when you have to start worrying about your own family at home.

As for #3 a new person taking power can bend to local sentiment to keep up pressure but without the full commitment that Putin is making in Ukraine. This could play well locally (I suspect not a lot of Russians are happy to die for Ukraine) and be more "Western friendly" than a full-on war.
The Lord Mayor of the City of London, Nicholas Lyons, is a big lobbyist in favor of undoing the ring-fencing. I'm confident he'll try to get it done by the currently very friendly government of Sunak while he's in the yearly office -- he has till next November.

The relaxation for banks under a certain amount of AuM is already in the pipe -- see Lyons' recent interview with Bloomberg. I'm expecting him to push for a larger increase of the ceiling amount this year, and get it. That's why I said "further undo."

Maybe the ring-fencing will be fully removed but that won't happen this year.
1. Less people buying the woke "narratives".

2. Groups of the radical left becoming violent.

3. More wars.
How is AES ECB even possible? You would have to actively choose to do that. It's more effort than something like libsodium.

Have they not heard of the first rule of crypto being "You probably aren't qualified to do it, use libsodium or TLS or SSH" yet? Why are they messing with cipher modes themselves?
No. It's symmetric, not asymmetric. The secret key is a 128-bit key that is effectively concatenated with the master password for master key derivation.
Stanford CS224N: NLP with Deep Learning
Every time some philosopher comes up with a variation of "this machine cannot be said to understand what it is doing as opposed to simple mimicry" my response is always "I think the exact same about you" and so far I haven't seen any convincing argument to establish that there is a way to make one of these statements true while the other is false.

In other words, "understanding" is an illusion. It is indistinguishable from "simple mimicry".

Yup, of the cars with “verified” (as opposed to estimated) winter range loss, Teslas do best. Further reinforces my point.
IBM also named Eclipse to make fun of Sun.

I know people at Sun who were quite chagrined about that at the time.
While I agree with you that users should have a strong master password, the vendor is in a really privileged position and could do much more than just attempting to crack vaults offline.

Why bother with cracking the vault when you can just modify the javascript sent to report back the master password? Especially if you only do targeted attacks, and/or heavily obfuscate the phoning home, the chances of getting away with it is probably pretty high.
It's literally part of the vault creation flow.
Stallman has a note about it from about 2017 along with a note that one of the criteria was being a Tor user at some point: https://web.archive.org/web/20170224183228/https://stallman....
Also TLS and SSH for data in transport.
As often happens what we say doesn't always clearly convey what we mean to others, we've perhaps both fallen foul from this.

A few points of note;

* like or not Australia as a country is an interesting case study wrt "how do other countries fare?" .. we have charging capabilities .. but hellish distances between towns outside of cities. On the plus side the vast bulk of the population is urban | near urban .. so it's only the actual outback | rural | FiFo types that may be left with ICE down the timeline.

* Future mandates are aspiration and exert a pressure to change; come crunch day it may have come to pass that sufficient recharge capability has been pushed out to Backwater Dale in Banjo County .. or not. When the reality comes to pass there is the option to modify policy in the face of some areas being better suited for mandated EVs than others.
Companies know that people think like this nowadays, so they only require the phone number after you are already invested into the service. Twitter had this where they would allow you to not set phone initially, but then ban you some time later and require it to lift the ban. Microsoft also bans you for “suspicious activity” and the only way to unlock account is to “verify” your number. You can only contact them about it via another ms account or… by phone. Fuck everything about this tbh.
Let's say somebody makes a prediction that something will happen, and it doesn't. You could evaluate the prediction differently if they gave it a 55% chance of happening vs a 95% chance.
You should check Argentina's example too.
> You can have hybrid smart contracts, that rely on oracles

So, trusting centralised data providers.

> You could for instance have 5 independent oracles responsible for validating whether the concert happened or not.

Ah yes. Because the ticket is validated after the concert has happened, and not, you know, at the entrance to the venue.

And also so many "coulda/woulda"s in your description of something that has already been solved and doesn't require mountains of compleiy on top of it. I mean, you can't reliably show how having a single ticket to a single concert would work better than the existing system. And that's the simplest thing that can happen to a ticket.
It should be ctrl+enter as well

You're conflating a lot of things here. The title of the original essay is "nobody cares about your blog" if I agree with the author in the sense he meant it, I'm not sure where the problem is. Likewise, "the author's blog comes up in the first Google results" is exactly the kind of industrialization I'm talking about.

Assuming positive intent, and that you're not a bot, thanks for the chance to clarify!
New shell instances load much faster when running asdf instead of rbenv/nvm/etc… instead of having multiple processes checking multiple dotfiles for a given environment there is just a process and single file.
Sure you think that, but is it the reality?
A one-liner would suffice. The idea is pretty simple. It's crazy it's not like this at the moment.

> Twitter patched this in early 2022 so breach data is 2021 to 2022
I worked for Sun in the early 1990s when they were widely seen as an unstoppable force. It was wild. Even around 2000, I felt as if they were leading the Web into the future.

But after the dot com bubble burst, it was sad to see how quickly they declined and how Solaris and SPARC faded into obscurity.

I still have a lot of old Sun machines in my basement as a reminder of those amazing times. I can't get rid of them, because as Marie Kondo points out, they still SPARC joy ;-)
Hard to find valuable post or comments actually. One of the worst I saw before. That’s why I use google to find something, way better.
Yes, but I think it would be harder to push a malicious update especially since currently 1password doesn't send information on the license when checking for updates. So a malicious update wouldn't be targeted as easily as logging in a web app.

Additionally exfiltrating the data would be harder for a locally stored vault..

This is the kick in the ass I needed to switch to something else.
Perhaps, but I think they just need more relevant tests. The EPA tests were meant to be challenging for ICE cars, but happen to be easy for hybrids and EVs.

I would like to see a 75 mph constant-speed test at 0F, 50F and 100F
Better possibly in the sense that they withdraw, don't force as many Russians to die in actual combat, and mostly use missiles and border skirmishes for propaganda purposes. This could easily be pitched up as "keeping up the fight" but ease the pressure on Russian citizens ... so a sort of win?
Yes true, attack surface is already big enough, lets upload our passwords into the cloud...cant be much worse...oh wait...
Not so convincing if even the most basic example does not work completely. The Git example video/gif fails to push because it creates a repository with branch main and wants to push master.

Seeing all those "Shell AI Helper" examples there seem to be a surprising demand for finding and/or killing processes. And the result is usually killing (instead of terminating) whatever of some wonky ps/grep pipe finds instead of just using pgrep...
> I don't know of any reason that a blockchain based offering couldn't find itself competitive in the marketplace

The main reason is that you have shown exactly zero reasons why anyone shold adopt it in a space that's already mostly solved the issue of selling tickets to people. You are teling people to create insane complexity just to solve the single case of selling a single ticket to a single person and pretend that's all there is. And telling people "but it's blockchain so it's good actually". That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works.

Went to a houseparty with classmates from my MBA. Somebody kthere was going home and leaving Australia after graduation. So his room was available. Little sis I know that the appartment housed two gorgeous Colombian girls whom I had an absolute ball with the coming year.

I think it was that click throughs (and someone say buying something) reduce ad impressions, as they’re no longer scrolling Twitter.

As a result Twitter ad targeting has ended up only good for brand advertising, when at least in theory companies would pay for highly targeted ads eg in threads where people were talking about a product.

This is so third hand though you should take this comment with a pinch of salt!
"The new Power had no weapons on the ground, nothing but a comm laser. That could not even melt steel at the frigate’s range. No matter, the laser was aimed, tuned civilly on the retreating warship’s receiver. No acknowledgment. The humans knew what communication would bring. The laser light flickered here and there across the hull, lighting smoothness and inactive sensors, sliding across the ship’s ultradrive spines. Searching, probing. The Power had never bothered to sabotage the external hull, but that was no problem. Even this crude machine had thousands of robot sensors scattered across its surface, reporting status and danger, driving utility programs. Most were shut down now, the ship fleeing nearly blind. They thought by not looking that they could be safe.

"One more second and the frigate would attain interstellar safety.

"The laser flickered on a failure sensor, a sensor that reported critical changes in one of the ultradrive spines. Its interrupts could not be ignored if the star jump were to succeed. Interrupt honored. Interrupt handler running, looking out, receiving more light from the laser far below…a backdoor into the ship’s code, installed when the newborn had subverted the humans’ groundside equipment…

"…and the Power was aboard, with milliseconds to spare. Its agents—not even human equivalent on this primitive hardware—raced through the ship’s automation, shutting down, aborting. There would be no jump. Cameras in the ship’s bridge showed widening of eyes, the beginning of a scream. The humans knew, to the extent that horror can live in a fraction of a second."

It might be interesting to check if this effect correlates (inversely) to gratefulness / religious practice. I mean, if you only think about how things could be better you might not be so grateful for the things you have, but if you think at least sometimes about how they could be worse, then you might!
When IBM bought Red Hat, Sun was long dead and buried.

> and given certain assumptions, to be clear, like no reuse

Maybe I wasn't obvious enough, but this is the problematic assumption. When I say "non-random password", that's what I mean: a reused password.

Almost everyone I know reuses passwords (sometimes with a slight variation, but 90% of the password the same), and my day job is a software engineer. I'd be willing to be at least half of Lastpass's users have at least 1 reused password.
>That seems like a bad precedent

We do it all the time with North Korea.

>... - nuclear blackmail and aggression works, you get rewarded with territory/concessions.

I don't think the concession would be territory, more likely a treaty to block NATO membership for Ukraine (say no Ukraine NATO membership for 20 years, or something like that). Possibly also deny access to join the EU (even though that idea has heavy steam right now).

I have only begun to dabble in board games again in the last couple years, and Wingspan was my entry point, thanks to my birdnerd wife. I heartily second this Stonemaier recommendation - we own several more of their games already, and all are fantastic.

I bought the family a coop expansion for Viticulture that we're opening later this morning, and they're really a great company that, so far as I can tell, is doing everything they can to foster more indie producers, not dominate the market or play any of those kinda games. If there is a golden age, Stonemaier is one of the major mines.
Any inquiry in the genre of "Why not try [obvious thing]?" is generally going to lead nowhere. You don't know what you don't know, and it can be exhausting to explain to the nth person asking too-obvious questions that their obvious question is missing experiential data or any effort at research, and then filling in those gaps.

Medication and therapy are expensive. It doesn't always work. If it works, it might not work well. If it works at all, there are often side effects. Getting into therapy is hard. Finding a therapist you click with once you get through all the hoops is even harder. Sticking with each step of the process when you have a disorder that makes sticking to things hard is hilarious once you think about it.

And so on.
Very nice, there are hundreds of little utilities in X that people have forgotten about. Glad people are trying to collect them.
All that the Chinese room experiment really shows is that in the real world, our naive notion of "understanding" is indistinguishable from a complex amalgamation of automated processes. The sooner we stop referring to "understanding" as if the word means something, the better our thinking about AI and humans will be.
Re: dev environment containing database backups, here’s the full text on that point from the blog:

> some source code and technical information were stolen from our development environment and used to target another employee, obtaining credentials and keys which were used to access and decrypt some storage volumes within the cloud-based storage service.

It sounds like they didn’t literally have backups in the dev environment (which would be absolutely terrible if they did).

I’m guessing they learned enough about the architecture from the dev environment to social engineer their way into getting someone to give them credentials to production.
To be clear, the point I'm trying to make is that your potential customers aren't going to be digging around on HN posts looking for details on what the software does. After they spend a few minutes and can't figure anything out they will leave - never to return. This information needs to be prominently on the website: what your product is (much more clearly) and why people should choose it over alternatives.
IBM bought Red Hat fairly recently, long after SUN was bought by Oracle.

Sure. But, IMO, it (chatGPT) is about the quality of a first or second year uni student right now (albeit in every subject at the same time), including being confidently incorrect.

Let's pour one out for the devs who still work there and are working over Christmas to deal with this.

SDRAM is continuously refreshing all cells. How long ago data was written doesn't make a big difference (aside from the case where you're reading data immediately after writing or reading that data).
Good stuff. But I still probably wouldn't use it. Because my cli usage can be roughly divided into two categories:

1. Commands I use often (daily). These I usually know and they are much faster to type than to explain what I want to do.

2. Commands I need to google/man to do something specific I don't usually do. And these I usually want at least understand before running them. For example some git manipulations.

So AI tool can be helpful for (2) but most probably I will still go to google to read more about what does the command do.
Twitter has an extremely nasty dark pattern for accuiring your mobile number.

So much so if you pay and use a temporary number from services like OnOff. Twitter cleavely detect this and never sends you a verification code.

You need to use a number that is likely tied into a major phone network, most people will do this, as for the privacy conscious like me I had no way of circumventing the measures Twitter had in place at the time. It was very frustrating.
The inside of a Chinese room is an environment like any other, this argument makes no sense.
Checksums don't save you from memory corruption. If your data gets corrupted in memory, you will just end up checksumming and committing bad data. Or your checksum could get corrupted, and you commit a checksum that doesn't match your data. Checksums are more useful for safeguarding against disk or network corruption (although you shouldn't have network corruption issues over TLS or SSH).

Apparently Ryzen 7000 cpus can use ECC. I've heard reports that AMD needs to release an AGESA update, though, and ECC DDR5 memory availability is terrible. I'm hopeful that the situation will improve, because I also want to update my desktop. I've been using ECC memory since losing a filesystem on a desktop when a DIMM went bad.
For everyone to know, Instagram does this too in a way. They would let me sign up with just an email, verify it, then at first login auto ban me. Giving me the option of appealing and tracking said appeal by giving them a phone number.

The only way I could resolve it was by using a phone number. Meanwhile they've harvested 2-3 of my anon and temp emails.
It is true that about 10% of large cap mutual funds beat the S&P 500 over a 10 year period (see the latest SPIVA study). At 20 years it goes down to about 5% that will beat the S&P 500.
