I'm with you most of the time... but there are some commands that refuse to stick in my brain no matter how hard I try, and I get tired of looking them up
Assuming this is real, how much could this data be worth?
It worked for the couple basic cases I tried!!
Yes this is a puff piece. But like... Carcasonne was 2000. There has been amazing progress in game design and depth. So many games that have wide audiences and that are just fun and well designed, that would not have been published 20 years ago because it would not fit into the right mold.

For every "game meant to get 20 expansions", we have a wealth of very good replayable games that exist well on their own. For every game meant to launder 20 different kind of components, you get 4 wonderful games sold at cost and that are actually fun, with the tactileness being the flavor on top.

I kind of agree that lots of games are OK with making their boxes "too much" nowadays (if only from a practical perspective of it being too big and just a lot of trash). But I think almost everybody at the creative level is just earnestly excited to make board games. Business people want to make business, but that's the same in every industry.
> There's an argument to me made that the age/popularity of a belief system does correlate with validity, given that their individual memes are subject to Darwinism.

Absolutely not, because the fitness, in an evolutionary sense, of those memes does not correlate with their truthfulness but with how easy they are to believe because they appeal to our fears, hopes and dreams.

Take that "life after death" trope. The hard truth is that there isn't any, when you die, everything that made up "you" will be gone for good. But no religion based on that truth would ever thrive because the thought is just too scary and bleak.
When my kids were small, I used to work away 3 days a week. It was my resting days as I could sleep normally and recharge myself.
I did not realize it until I spent 7 days a week at home.
There are so many different kinds of games that might or might not appeal to a person, but here are some that you can look up to see if they catch your interest:

- Radlands

- Brass Birmingham or Brass Lancashire

- Spirit Island

- Food Chain Magnate (beware, highly unforgiving)

- 7 wonders duel

- Great Western Trails

- Wingspan

1. Deglobalization accelerates as the Bretton woods organisations become increasingly irrelevant and trade moves to being bloc and region based.

2. The web continues to fracture into separate Euro, Sino, Russo and Americano nets due to increasingly different views in privacy, surveillance, freedom of speech etc. SV companies are slow to pick up on this.

3. Tech layoffs in the Bay Area intensify. When hiring begins again a large number of the new hires are either remote or are in other geographical areas where labour costs are lower.

4. The market for stock photography and grunt level copy writing collapses entirely.

5. Serious attempts are made to have TikTok banned in the USA. This becomes a hot button cultural issue.

6. There is another crypto mini boom lasting at least a couple of months that sees Bitcoin double in price. This ends when it turns out that yet another exchange was being used as a personal piggy bank.

7. The UK continues its long, slow slide into economic ruin, driven by the general incompetence of its political class. (admittedly you could have made this prediction most years since 1945 and been right,but still)
> I spend it all because I know I’ll be fine if I go back to nothing.

It's good that you'll be fine if you go back to nothing, but it very much isn't a reason to spend all the money.

Reasons to spend all the money could be eg that it makes you happier (I very much doubt that) or that it makes the world a better place (you didn't say how you spend the money, so perhaps?).
if you pass `--model=chatgpt` there's experimental support for ChatGPT, but it's suuuper flaky

> Why ECC Memory Is So Important

Except that it's not for many use cases. It's great for servers but for people on their personal and/or work computer, it's simply not that useful.

Seriously: which percentage of developers have ECC on their development machine(s)?

As developers we live in a world of SSH, cryptographic hashes, checksums everywhere, Git repositories (that is a big one), Merkle trees, digital signatures, reproducible builds (which are gaining traction), etc.

Heck, I'm torrenting the latest Debian or Devuan .iso image. My torrent client is using every known trick under the sun to make sure that should anything go wrong, the broken data shall be discarded and re-downloaded. Download is done, I dd the image to some installation medium. I can then verify its checksum matches the official one. A bit flip didn't slip by unnoticed.

All the music I carefully ripped from my audio CDs? They're all cross-checked with an online DB of known bit-perfect rips. There's an accompanying file containing each song's hash and I can verify at anytime that all my files are 100% correct.

But really most of all I live in a world of Git repositories. My entire Emacs config is versioned under Git (I know YMMV but I like it that way). Some people version under Git their entire user dir.

Tell me how my lack of ECC is going to really make life miserable here?

I have nothing against ECC... But if I want to upgrade my AMD 3700X to a 7700X, apparently I cannot get ECC.

And that's totally fine: I certainly won't discard the 7700X because I cannot get ECC for it.

And if anything looks suspicious, running Memtest is the first thing you should do.

I've had bad RAM at times. I'm still there.
Paying the criminals wouldn't help here. First, there is no guarantee that they wouldn't release the data anyway, second, the data already got leaked - criminals who were responsible for it have access to it, third, they publicly posted the information they have access to it.

Instead, the proper solution is after verifying legitimacy of the leak to immediately (within 72 hours) notify supervisory authority and users about personal data breach according to Articles 33 and 34 of GDPR.
> Who else suspects this is retaliation for Twitter files?

There’s literally nothing to retaliate about in the Twitter files it’s entirely a nothingburger dressed up for outrage points.

This data is also from 2021 to early 2022 before Twitter files was even a thing.
IMO ZFC is extremely ugly because it has no notion of types. One can ask questions like 'is the number 7 equal to the trivial group?'. Ultimately both are a bunch of nested sets so a priori they may or may not be equal. The calculus of constructions is, I think the nicest looking candidate for a foundation of mathematics. It is very nice that definitions, which one is going to need anyway in any sort of mathematical exposition, are part of the system from the start.
Those are all weak reasons.

Musk was correctly anticipating a major down turn in the economy for 2022. He was saying this at the end of 2021. Of course Tesla went down, everything else did as well. This is not a surprise. Fun fact he and Thiel also correctly anticipated the dotcom crash before it happened and pushed for the last round of PayPal funding to get done quickly at the peak as they expected it to be the last opportunity.

Twitters poor financials were known going in.

I think he would need to be pretty dumb to be surprised or offended by the result of the poll. Being CEO or not is meaningless when it is a private company and he owns the place. His word is law no matter the CEO.

Yep, b2 and cf is a great combo for hobby project. Note that you still need to pay for transactions so depending on your usage pattern, b2 might range from very cheap to a nice discount.

I recommend turning on tiered cache on cf [0]. Our b2 bill went from $7 to $4.

The answer is a family of simple heuristics like the "Golden Rule", "tit-for-tat" etc.
Most people you'll meet on HN are of the kind capable of self motivation to a high degree that makes long and involved projects possible if there's interest in something, even if it takes substantial extra learning to get there.

Thing is, I suspect most people in general aren't like that. They just sort of exist, not knowing what they even want to learn or try to avoid learning if at all possible. You can see this very clearly in university students that pick prof given bachelor thesis titles by what seems easiest vs. those that come up with their own. Or just school project work in general.
I don't get why this is the case, surely there must be a huge majority that hates those calls and wants them to stop? Is there some sort of political lobbying that prevents effective laws from being passed?
Yes, considering his instance has a single user, himself.

If more people sign up to his instance, or he just uses it, the costs will keep going up due to the caching Mastodon does for assets (and especially due to the fact he also doesn't have purging enabled)
How is there a widespread differential in sentencing outcomes based on a judge's leniency? When both sides present their recommendations, isn't the judge required to formulate a sentence informed by those recommendations/joint submissions with regard to the mitigating/aggravating factors that are fairly objective?

I've never bought into the idea that a lenient or overly-draconian sentence not informed by standard practice and sentencing principles wouldn't just get struck down or severely modified on appeal
Hybrid is the way to go! I do not like full remote because you get out of touch with the teams and office politics. When I'm full on site I cannot get my work done properly. Hybrid mode allows me to manage my schedule better, get shit done while remote, and keep up with office's politics while on site.
I like this layout, which is really how I remember the late-1990s web:

https://anioni.com/pauli/site1999/work/nurminen1-01.html

A well considered arrangement of structure, content and design. Something we do not get to see that much anymore.
I would say it depends how the class is done. In my opinion all class material should be available as pdf before the class, and during the class students should just ask what they didnt understood from the material. Any good question can be included in faq's material for the next year
Too bad we dont live in a "Just Desserts" culture!

I don't want to have to find out about and remember a bunch of different commands, and I especially don't want the risk that I get into an inconsistent state by forgetting a step when something changes.
Ruby is faster than Python in many benchmarks but it obviously varies by domain so make your own benchmarks. Ruby also has JIT which Python does not.
It's using a vulnerability, you should not be able to get emails and phone numbers for any profile except yours using any Twitter API.
> If you had a legacy 5000 rounds or 10000 rounds, the # of rounds can't just be increased server side. Changing that would mean a new key is derived. So older users likely still have a pretty low number of pbkdf2 rounds which makes them more vulnerable to brute forcing

Kind of unclear but i think this implies that lastpass doesn't do some and reencrypt on login. Are they saying its just people who havent unlocked there vault in a decade, or are they saying all old users have this? If the latter this is really poor design.

> Lots of vault entries may be encrypted with ECB mode AES-256.

Wtf wtf wtf. This would be considered wildly insecure even by the standards of the 80s
But if I open up an editor and write a document then that could be corrupted in RAM and then the corrupted data saved to disk. The document is likely to be more important than some ripped CDs or a git repo that I can download again.

The CPU, RAM and mobo manufacturers need to get together and make ECC RAM mandatory. It's absurd that we have machines with gigabytes of storage using microscopic (nanoscopic??) capacitors that doesn't have this basic protection. And honestly this should have happened years ago.

(Edit: And before anyone says DDR5 is ECC by default, that's not quite true although the difference is a bit subtle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR5_SDRAM#DIMMs_versus_memory...)
That's the price -- when new. But most "time nuts" buy their atomic clocks well used on eBay or local surplus sales at a massive discount. For example the most recent H-maser on the hobbyist market went for just a few thousand. Granted it was in need of repair, but that journey is part of the fun of an atomic timekeeping at home hobby.
> constantly changing obfuscation like Snapchat and TikTok to make it harder to use their internal APIs.

That sounds interesting. Can you point me to some resources to learn more about this?
What relevance does Yevgeniy Nikulin have with this, whatsoever?
It obviously isn't too short to leave a mean comment
With 8 characters, which is way below all recommendations and using only alphanumeric + the simple special chars on the keyboard you're looking at over 7 * 10^14 possibilities.

If you could do 100 million hashes per second (that seems to be possible with hardware looking at crypto stuff), the way I understand the setup you're still up against the 100100 iterations in the key derivation algorithm. So that's 7 * 10^19 hash calculations.

Even with the hardware to do 100 million hashes per second you're looking at nearly 23,000 years.

Let's hope you get a hit at 50% of the space (the expected average case). That's 11500 machine years with beefy GPU accelerated machine. So to bring this to a usable 5 years (and that's already pushing the expiration date of any creditcard you may find in the stolen vault) you'd need 2300 gpu accelerated machines running 24x7.

In AWS terms, with reserved discounts and everything you're going to spend roughly 60 million dollars cracking one vault.
> This really shows the importance of apples hide my email feature

But what if Apple gets hacked? They still know your real email, right?
Beyond racism some of these things happen a lot in startups. As a black person as well, i might have experienced this in a much lower stakes, for example, hired at a startup.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22091777 The behaviour sounds totally unacceptable. "Is there a way to do this without making it painfully apparent to him that he's being diluted to 10%?" Zuck.
Yeah, too bad we don't have some portable web text format where professor can write his thoughts and share them with everybody before the class itself, so students will just ask additional questions during the class, oh wait...
I wonder if they be fined 4% of their revenue under GDPR
Doesn't the DoNotCall register work any more?
Why do you feel it's better to do the build system's job manually? I've seen beginners interact with such a system and it's a recipe for even more confusion.
Then you are a superhuman. I too went through weeks of pain and suffering to get my nixos hypervisor running, and if I were to lose my script and have to start from scratch again, I'd just install Debian instead.

I would never recommend nixos to anyone. The concept is awesome, but the execution is terrible.
It’s a necessity. The end user experience for React isn’t necessarily the best.

Where it exists, the web is probably the wrong solution for the problem.
RSA is not only the monthly amount paid, the recipients also live in social housings paying next to nothing in rent, heating, healthcare and transportation.

A similar thing exists in other country like UK or Germany
Some people sleep on the streets. Shelter and a warm soft bed is not something to take for granted, regardless if it's at the office, at home, at a friends or at a hotel.
What’s even easier is using steam-run which is technically intended to run games which expect FHS environment on NixOS, but it works excellent to run any binary which was built on another distro
I’ve worked on extremely complex projects (many hundreds of endpoints, many TB of data). React definitely does not scale for those at all. It has a niche for a few use cases but it’s terrible for most I have found.

It’s all about applying the correct solution to the problem and that isn’t the web if it involves react.
1) ChatGPT replaces search engines making incredible progress in automation of relatively high skilled jobs.

2) Further deterioration of the world police area with authoritarian regimes growing more bold in territorial ambitions. Most concrete the Turkish Regime indirectly with supporting Azerbaijan aggression against Armenia and directly with further invasions into Northern Syria.

3) No end to the Ukraine war, still no invasion of Taiwan
Not sure what is the assumption. I have the opportunity to scrape the ice off of the car many times a year.

It makes sense that those who've stayed on under Oracle have a favorable opinion of how Oracle does things: one might say they are self-selected for it.

I am a signal officer. I have performed a different job on every deployment. The military is largely allergic to writing software so all the software I write are just side hustles on GitHub. I am part time military and full time software developer in the corporate world.
For many years now, twitter automatically shadowbans new accounts if they did not supply a phone number during sign up. This is of course just a ploy to collect phone numbers. The reason they give for the ban is is that their terms of service have somehow been violated, even if the account has never posted anything, but the violation magically goes away if you provide a phone number. In the past, you could also write a mail to some support email address, but that took a few weeks even before most twitter employees got fired.
> work with a particular representative with a particular equality

HoTT lets you do this when such a canonical representative exists. The point is to be able to generalize beyond that.
I just checked my old account and it was configured to be 5000. I changed it and re-encrypts the data and uploads it, and then forces you to login again, presumably to do server side part.

Seems weird that they would have the number of rounds fixed from the time of account creation though. Surely it would be possible to increase the number of rounds over time.

Edit: I should add that I have logged into this account within the past year or two. So if they're supposed to increase over time, it ain't worked.
Leaker probably wanted to prove it's not just US accounts.

It's pretty easy to google "big India twitter accounts" or "big China twitter accounts" - there is a China newspaper on the list, a France Gov agency, ...
Gee I sure love being forced to enter my phone number into every app I use so there is a nice big single point of failure that apparently can be taken from me with basic social engineering of phone company employees.
You know it's funny, those demo scene photos would probably be thought of as AI generated these days. Maybe it's the 'dreaminess'?

I may be wrong, but I believe this is information that was already available to you using the API. The only difference being that they have downloaded all the data and compiled it into an easy to use CSV. So I could see a lot of small-time spammers wanting a copy, but I don't see it being terribly valuable, like actual privative data might be.
Most of these calls come from illegitimate call centers running scams overseas now.
So you’re saying Apple AND dozens of other companies, most of those with worse security, having my email address is JUST AS BAD as ONLY Apple having my email address?
Oh right, sorry!

I've been using similar workarounds to use ChatGPT programmatically and it's just not worth it. In my experience you just get blocked after a couple of requests. I'm really hoping they release an API soon.
Mining all that crap that goes into any EV destroys our planet properly.

If you want to actually help environment, you need to live in cold through the winter by using heating at minimum, you need to use public transport, do adequate sustainable shopping of everything and so on and on. Which hits the general consumerism and comfort western society is so used to like a concrete wall of WWII bunker.

I get why prople want to feel they are not passive when global catastrophe is coming, but just buying EV and saying you have done your part is a fucking bad joke, sorry cant put it in milder terms. Kids in african cobalt, lithium etc mines would object, at least if they could.

I love the app. Really no ads, no premium features, no nothing.

Yes, I have read somewhere that the owners are "communist" and whatever. Doesn't change the value of the app though. People are people, no one is perfect because not every one holds the same values thoughts.
